Tea time - why is it called that?!


Question:

Tea time - why is it called that?

Is dinner time lunch time or the evening meal?
What should be eaten for supper and what time should it be served.


Answers:

Tea time throughout much, but not all, of the UK is traditionally 4pm. Tea,scones cakes etc.

We used to have dinner, never lunch, in the middle of the day.

In New Zealand and parts of Yorkshire 'tea' is the name for the evening meal aka dinner.

Supper is served later on before bedtime. In Scotland it can include meat pies !

Now, all this talk of food has left me drooling. Bye for now. Guess where I'm going ?
