A question for a saturday afternoon

[ericcoleman]

A combination of breakfast and lunch is brunch. What would be a combination of lunch and dinner/supper?

I've actually had that same conversation with myself and decided that none of them really work. So it's just lunch until it's dinner time (so for me, lunch can run from noon 'til sixish and anything after that is dinner.

I dunno ... I kinda like Lupper

[meglimir.livejournal.com]

My parents have called it "lupper" as long as I can remember.

A Hagar the Horrible cartoon used the expression once. Helga serves Hagar "brunch", he snarfs it down and asks "So where's Lupper?" I've used that term ever since.

My wife is a farm girl, and her family referred to the midday meal as "dinner" and the evening meal as supper.

"Sinner"?

[ericcoleman]

That certainly beats dupper

[naomikritzer]

"High Tea."

Sheesh. What good is a year in England if you don't retain (and completely abuse) the Queen's English?

[ericcoleman]

I didn't really hang out in those social circles ... my crowd were much more the beans on toast sort

[naomikritzer]

My crowd would say that they were having beans on toast for tea, which confused the hell out of me until I eventually figured out that tea was a meal in addition to being a beverage.

I invented "Lupper" decades ago, and have used it, intermittently, ever since. (I don't know if it made it into a Shockwave script so I can verify this...)

NB: "Dinner" is the largest meal of the day, no matter when you have it. Many people have dinner at midday, and a smaller supper at night.

Might as well get this in: A small bite to eat late at night is often called a "midnight snack". But sometimes my schedule is more screwed up than that, and I have a full meal circa 3am. This is, then, a "supfest". (Not "subfAst", as I'm not actually breaking a fast with supper; more like a festival. Okay... carnival.)

For me it's always been "Linner".

How about a Lusty Sinner?

I'm looking ... I am ...

My mom has always called it "Lupper" since I can remember.

Sinner

what about the disturbing trend taco bell is trying to start: "fourth meal" ?!?!?

[artpaulrocks.livejournal.com]

On Sundays when I was a kid Lunch was dinner.

It was the weekly event every Sunday to have a big dinner and then sit around watching TV afterwards.

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

What's disturbing about that? Brits have had four meals for ages. And then there's hobbits:

First Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Brunch, Lunch, Tea, High Tea, Snack, Dinner, Supper, Night Snack, Midnight Snack.

The Slunck eaters died in the Barbara Hambly books. I have to go with Tea.
