(dinner? supper? ever since I read here a discussion regarding the different names for the meals, I'm confused)
Just remember that supper is always the evening meal. Usually, "dinner" is the largest meal of the day, so it can be either the afternoon or evening meal.
Have it your way, amych.
I had enchiladas for lunch. Tasty, but not quite enough.
Now I am having some Recharge, my preferred Gatorade substitute. It does not taste salty at all, which makes me think that if I tried Gatorade again, I would probably find it nasty.
Nilly, and tommyrot, thank you. I'm so used to cryptograms, I didn't even consider there might be a code. Duh. I can't believe I didn't look for it.
eta...Lee, off to check. Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Kathy. So "supper" is just like "lunch" in terms of a-meal-eaten-on-a-certain-time, and "dinner" can replace either when it specifies the large meal of the day?
In Hebrew it's much simpler. We have morning-meal, noon-meal and evening-meal, just combining the words for "morning", "noon", "evening" and "meal".
When is second morning-meal??

I've always thought the word breakfast has a certain poetry to it that the other meals lack.

Yep! And, to quote the immortal Snoopy:
It's suppertime!
Oh, yes, it's suppertime!
And when suppertime comes
Can supper be far away?
Bruch is a fun portmwhateveryacallit, but breakfast is one of our more poetic words for ordinary tasks.
Lee,
Insent. Also, you'll see I cc'd someone. That's just me I cc'd. I meant to note it in the body of the email, so you'd have my more reliable address.

Me too. It means something, rather that just being a label.
