Yep

It is either breakfast, lunch, and dinner

or breakfast, dinner, and supper.

"supper" was always the meal towards evening.....I try to keep it in my vocabulary because we are losing so many words and concepts as it is.....

"dinner" was used mostly for Sunday's big meal which was right after Mass about 1200 or 1:00 PM...... in those days you had to fast before taking communion and you would be really hungry after Mass, thus the big meal...

Ha, ha. I had forgotten about that. All four of my grandparents called dinner the noon meal and supper the evening meal.
