Do you call it dinner or supper?!


Question: Do you call it dinner or supper?
I have always called the evening meal "supper" and my friends laugh at me and tell me it's called "dinner".

I'm from Wisconsin, so maybe that's why?

My family always called it supper; Darling Hubby's family called it supper. The problem arises around lunch, which he calls dinner. I've heard enough people call the evening meal "dinner" that it makes me pause, every time. I still end up asking, "You mean lunch?"



Yes, it's probably because you're from Wisconsin. I call the evening meal dinner, but if someone says supper, I take that to mean the evening meal. Google "supper" and see what Wikipedia has to say about it. It's very much a regional thing. Also check out "supper vs dinner".



I call it dinner, food, din. It's probably the same thing with soda. Where I live I call it Soda, but down south they call it pop and it the south east they call it coke. so yeah it's probably a wisconsin thing



my family called it supper, so that's good enough for me. Dinner was what we called the noon meal. Now I call that lunch, but I hear both from others.



I moved from California where we say Dinner and call a carbonated beverage a coke, to Texas where it is now supper and soda or a pop.



I believe that's an English phrase.
But there's nothing wrong with saying "supper". Makes you seem all the more interesting.



I use both terms, but I mostly call it "dinner." I think it all depends on how your parents called it, really
