You sound like you may be a greedy beggar to me, lunch tea and dinner indeed!

My Dad would as a treat have a bowl of Bovril for his supper

[lake district canary 4,531]

Jim, can''t beat a jam and banana sandwich or somesuch at around 5.00 to get you through to dinner time!

Shocking gluttony

So the dictionary says you could have 2 Dinners a day, but no (meal) Tea? Mmm

Dinner is halfway through the day, and Tea is early evening, for me

[raunds canary 214]

I''m with crabbycanary

what time would brunch be .....

[quote user="raunds canary"]what time would brunch be .....[/quote]Around 11-11:30am IMHO, replacing ''Elevenses'' with a more substantial meal.

I have to say I''m leaning to the LDC position. I used to work near a slaughterhouse, & the screams of the terrified animals I sometimes heard was sickening.

Really I think in an ideal world we should only eat creatures if we''re prepared to kill them ourselves. It would certainly concentrate the mind.

Which reminds me, where''s that recipe for Corbyn fritters ...

A slow braised piece of boneless lamb shoulder with roast potatoes, broccoli and carrots served with a meat juice jus and mint washed down with a rather fine Margaux.

Dinner, quite simply, is the main meal of the day, whether it is midday, late afternoon or in the evening.

I usually have mine around 6 o''clock.

[quote user="raunds canary"]supper used to be had after the Sweeney or the professionals had finished at 10pm[/quote]Isn''t supper when you stagger back home at closing time, find a tin and wolf down it''s contents like an animal without knowing what it is ? [:D]

Bangers and mash with onion gravy.

Sausages from Archers of course.

Home made onion gravy.

Cream, butter, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to do the mash.

Had a very tasty chilli tonight, a little bit of chocolate in it, makes it nice and rich.

Pizza

[Happy Clapper 0]

Hey Frank, that''s a bit of a come down from the stuffed aubergine😞

[ron obvious 1,498]

VS, are you a refugee from WOTB?

[Happy Clapper 0]

No Ron, is there a sausage on there?

[wcorkcanary 4,329]

Slow cooked Pork belly that had marinated for 24 hrs in cider, colemans mustard mash, savoy cabbage and peas.

It was the first time she''d made it, i hope it wont be the last.

[ron obvious 1,498]

No VS, but there is a meal obsession ...

Ooh stop it; you''re making me dribble.

Chicken en croute (from a packet; urgh!) last night. Pizza (from a packet) tonight. Wonderful (!)

[Happy Clapper 0]

Ah ok Ron, now I understand. Just thought it might be a bit of light relief😀

Anyway I''ve just got me a large piece of smoked haddock, not the dyed sort, will probably just poach it, maybe put a drop of milk in there, and have simply with boiled spuds and some peas for tea tonight, knob of butter on there and some vinegar.

Thursday night, home made burgers in toasted buns, with home made fries.

Chocolate fudge cake as dessert.

Couple of beers or so.

[Happy Clapper 0]

Sounds great Number 9.

I don''t know why more people don''t make their own burgers, it''s so easy and you can spice them nicely yourself. Lurverly.

[morty 0]

I quite fancy burgers for tea now.

[Mello Yello 2,279]

Tadpoles t its on toast......scrummy!

[Happy Clapper 0]

Do you use farmed tadpoles, the wild ones are really expensive since Brexit, I blame them Froggies!

[AJ 1,218]

I''m getting on the burgers for dinner idea well, might buy some nice burger relish to go with it. Nom!
