Yep, dinner is the big hot one, lunch/tea is the small (sometimes) cold one
Tea is something that you drink, not eat.
You've clearly never heard of iced tea.
Is he related to Mr T?
Apparently, dinner originally meant breakfast from the Old French "disner", meaning to break the fast, essentially de-fast.
Supper is from the Old French "soper" which just means soup-er
What a world.
My mom continues to insist that something called "supper" exists, which replaces dinner.
No, supper is a light, late evening meal.
Donโt forget linner and dunch
This is the way.
Any big main meal is dinner, regardless of when you have it. A meal in the middle of the day is lunch, a meal at the end of the day is tea, a meal shortly before bed is supper. Any of them can be dinner too, but they don't have to be.
Breakfast is breakfast though. Dinner for breakfast is not an option.
