Wasn't the back kitchen originally called the scullery?

Here in Essex

Breakfast 5.45am-8.30am depending on what shift im working
dinner 12-1.30ish, see above
Tea 5.30pm-7.30pm depending on what time everyone is home.

Anything in bread is a sandwich.

Morning Wend, nice to see you.

None of you have Candle Light suppers then?


I might be a NZeder and I would hazard a guess that most here say sandwich... but if its got chips or bacon in it I call it a buttie or a sarnie.

My mother would make my dad some sandwiches for work and he always called it his playlunch and he left school at 13.

Actually we have been known to have candlelight suppers part'aas...here in the house of drama :-D

We do candle light buff hays.... ... got to be careful that the straw doesn't catch fire...

I shall be holding a Candle-Light soire to celebrate at my Burns Night Supper. Although this is on 25th Jan, a Wednesday, it will be held on the 28th Jan, a Saturday.LOLOL

Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and later, Supper if its desired. :-D :-P.**M**.

Over the years dinner ( 1200 p.m. ) has changed to lunchtime. 'Lunchtime' never existed when I was a child. Tea, a light meal was at five. Supper, nothing more than a drink and biscuit. That was in the 50's.

Since working all my life I regard 1200 as lunchtime . 6.pm. as dinner time but I have never got my head round Supper time being anything other than a drink and maybe a biscuit.

I once invited some neighbours round for some supper- meaning a few sandwiches. The speed at which they tucked into the sandwiches often made me wonder whether they were expecting a meal. I never dare ask but the thought is still with me 20++ years later.

Since I have moved, my next door neighbour comes round for afternoon tea as she describes it. She is the equivalent of Hyacinth so I tend to call it afternoon tea because at 3 p.m. I wouldn't know what else to call it. - jl

Meybe "High Tea or Tiffin" :-D

In the Far East , Yes, over her Me. :-D :-D

Breakfast, dinner, tea (and supper if you are still hungry lol)

Thats how it has always been for us, get mixed up if i start calling tea (5 ish) dinner although my brother down London always says we will go out for dinner if we go down there, meaning in the evening

Back kitchen in north of England, scullery in N. Ireland possibly Scotland also.

Dinner.

lunch at lunch time, dinner at dinner time.

Definitely butty and not just when it has chips on it.

The inner door often had upper half with glass ....... usually either stained or frosted

There might well be a north/south divide but then that probably has more to do with where your parents lived as a child and then passed on to you, I think?

When in my teens I thought it wonderful when friends said 'supper'. I thought it sounded particularly tasty!

We sometimes 'do' brunch on the weekends... people here flock to beach and countryside cafes to partake in this repast.

Then there is the Wedding Breakfast... which can be held day or night...
