What time do you eat your supper?

What're you OP a farmer?

I try never to eat food after 6 pm. Why?

Do you use a coupon for the Early Bird Supper at Olive Garden, OP?

I eat dinner not supper. I don't even like the word "supper".

R1 farmers are late eaters

"supper?" really?

A thread in which DLers dismiss the word "supper" and dining at an early hour in the hopes of convincing themselves and others that they are fancy Europeans with the fancy European habits.

I never eat dinner before 8pm.

If you were trying to eat out anywhere decent in the UK you wouldn't find them open before 7pm, 8pm to 9pm are the most popular reservation slots.

At dusk, which is the appropriate hour for my famous Candlelight Suppers.

I beg for, then eat my supper at 6pm (most days).

Ms. Brahms: "We've only got half an hour left to have our dinner."

Captain Peacock: "Lunch."

Ms. Brahms: "What's the difference?"

Captain Peacock: "What do you have in the evening?"

Ms. Brahms: "Supper."

Captain Peacock: "Only the working class have dinner and supper. Professional people like ourselves have lunch and dinner."

Ms. Brahms: "Now, look. I'm not working class. I live in a detached house!"

Mrs. Slocombe: "Now Captain Peacock, I live in a flat. But that doesn't go to say that I don't lead a very refined life. And in my little nest, we have supper."

OP is working class, apparently.

630-700 but only since the pandemic. Used to be 800-830.

I go to bed earlier now.

4:30pm. I eat early so I can wash my pussy before I go to bed at 6:30 pm

When maw rings the bell

I went to a restaurant in Madrid at around 10:00 PM and we were the only table. When we left around 1:00 AM, the place was full.

at supper time.

Between 6 and 7 PM

Between 4:00 and 5:00 pm.

I ate supper as a child, always at 5PM.

Now I have DINNER, after numerous drinks, between 8:30 and 9:15PM.

When Sally Struthers needs to film a new commercial.

I eat 2-3 suppers

Am trying intermittent fasting. I only eat between 10 am and 6 pm.

Before the pandemic I ate whenever I felt like it, breakfast at 8 am, dinner at 7 pm.

I did that r22. It’s not sustainable.

[quote] I never eat dinner before 8pm.

Your bowels need time to digest all that stuff you've rammed into them.

You can't digest while you're sleeping.

I eat dinner no earlier than 7:30. The latest for me has been 11 pm, due to working late. Never a good idea.

Before dinner.

Bad news, it work for about two pounds.

R24 I don't go to bed until 2-3am (even as a child never before midnight), 8pm dinner works pretty well.

If I'm really bored I might go to an Indian restaurant at 1am and go to bed at 4am.

R24 = believes all the bullshit

R29 Try living in a Country where sunset is 10pm and sunrise is 3:30am for a quarter of the year (the bit In between is not really night, more twilight).

It really screws with your sleep patterns.

Eating dinner after 6pm gives me heart burn.

R28, where do you live that you can eat in an Indian restaurant at 1am?

I want to live there. You can't even do that in NYC.

I live with my elderly parents. We hit Luby's Cafe at 4:30 p.m.

I eat dinner between 4:30 and 6 pm, but usually on the later side of that window. But yes, because I eat so early, I get to miss the dinner rushes at restaurants! I love that!

When I went to Barcelona, I tried to eat dinner at 8pm with my spouse and we were the only ones there at all. Had we gone a few hours later, it would’ve been busy but that was fine with us. I like not going to bed on a full stomach and getting food before dinner rushes.

LMAO.

I'd never call it a dinner if its eaten before 7 pm. WTF !! Crazy you all are !

Dinner at 8

Supper at midnight

Drunks all day long

Dinner at 10. No supper. Breakfast at 4.

No sensible person dines at 9.

Dinner at 8. Supper at 2, if anyone is around and up for it. Brunch at 10.

Pre-Theater Dinner. Supper at 11:30-to-midnight unless one is out for drinks after the show, in which case supper is at 1.

Dinner at 7. Light supper at midnight to sober up guests.

Dinner at 6 (older/"special" people). No supper but people will pick at 10 if they're not gone yet.

Dinner at 5 (Floridians/professional retirees). "Something else" any time from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

Dinner at 4 (Floridians/professional retirees dining out). "Something else" at 7 unless there's indigestion.

No dinner. No supper. After clubs, White Castles/diner 3-6 am.

It depends - what time is the hot ass got his legs behind his ears?

When Pizza Hut delivers that steaming cheesy bready yummy gooey goodness!!!!

Dinner: 5:30

Dessert: 7

Snack: 9

And no, I'm not fat.

R40.... (show off)

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting before I knew what it was, so i eat DINNER around 3:30 or so. I’ve been doing it since I was about 25.

I'm the same as R22; I only eat between 10 and 6, no later than 6:15, five or six days a week. On the weekends or special occasions I will eat dinner later to accommodate my companions, but I don't eat anything after dinner (no dessert, no snacking), no matter what the time.

It is sustainable so long as you don't try to be completely rigid seven days a week, R23.

Dinner is between 6pm and 7pm. Don't be gauche! 🤪

It's the last thing I eat before bed.

R15 to me that’s much more normal. New York used to be much more like that. Now the peak dining hour is 7/7:30. It’s pathetic.

Dinner before 8pm is just weird in my book - unless it’s before a flight or a movie or something “before.” I rarely eat before 8:30/9 and sometimes later. But I like a culture of places that are open late.

Whenever somebody takes out the trash.

R32 Manchester UK.

Some Chinese places in our little Chinatown also stay open until around 3-4am at weekend.

For 'Indian' type food It's 'The Curry Mile', they close when they don't have customers.

Anywhere from 8:30 to 11:00 PM.

I love Indian food, and the best I've ever had in my life was in London.

They put beautiful sedatives in it, I swear.

10pm

You are all wrong, It's breakfast, dinner then tea, and I eat my tea at 19:30.

I live in the EU and it depends on whom I am dining with. 7 to 10 is normal.

Spain: 10.00pm or 11.00pm, though that got pushed back an hour or so during Covid when lockdowns and curfews meant that the few open restaurants were delivery only and had closing times of 10, 11, or 12. Now things are mostly back to normal, though occasionally I will wonder why I am hungry at 8.00pm or 9.00pm.

Lest there be no misunderstandings, there are 6 principal meals of the day, namely: Breakfast, Elevenses, Lunch(eon), Tea (High or Low, depending upon the extent of the meal), Dinner and Supper, consumed in that order and spaced at approximately 3 hourly intervals.

British working classes refer to their Lunch as "Dinner" and their "Dinner" as Tea (see R11). This practice evidently arose due to working hours that obliged them to rise early in the morning, going to bed equally early and before the regular Dinner time, so their (High) Tea became their final meal of the day and their Dinner was pushed back to Lunchtime.

You’re a loudmouth, baby. You better shut it up!
