Now, as for the meals mentioned above, early in my childhood, among my family, the one served at midday was called dinner. Only when I'd started attending grade school was what was served at noon (or thereabouts) called lunch. What did you call your midday meal when you were a kid? Dinner

My family's even meal early in my life was called supper. Later, perhaps due at least in part due to the influence of the stepfather my mom married and his Netherlander heritage, the evening meal was interchangeably called dinner AND supper. What did you call the last meal of the day when you were a youngster?
