Rawr Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I think it's a more northern thing for sure. I've met people who aren't from the north and every one calls it 'dinner' - i'm confused myself I'm thinking about making a potato salad with something
Nici Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 Garlic and herb potato bake with a turkey joint and stuffing. Mmm.
rach.at.the.disco Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I think it's a more northern thing for sure. Definately. I've never ever called it 'dinner' it's always been tea. Tonight I'm having quorn style bacon, scrambled egg and hash browns with brown sauce .
Rawr Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I still call it tea even when i'm 'corrected' >_> haha. My evidence is that when i was at school, it was always 'school dinner' so why would evening meal be called the same thing!
Lucybird Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I use either tea or dinner. Think it is the usual for monday. That is cold meat, indian snacks, salad and new potatoes
KW Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and homemade rolls.
BookBee8 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 (I say tea and dinner. And din dins if I'm talking to my nieces & nephew) I had chicken, chips and beans. Plus the required amount of ketchup.
Ceinwenn Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Mine is similar to yours Rawr. In Canada everyone calls it either Supper or Dinner, depending where you grew up. In my neck of the woods we called it supper. (We've eaten & tonight we had homemade chicken stew)
Nollaig Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I call it dinner. But some Irish people do call it tea. I just had an O Briens sandwich - glorious, and theres B&J Cookie Dough in for dessert. And Sarah: Your family is from Hull? Small world. One of the few people I know in England lives near Hull.
lexiepiper Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I call it tea, and we're having chicken and chips probably, i'm sooooo hungry *tummy grumbles*
chrysalis_stage Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 (I say tea and dinner. And din dins if I'm talking to my nieces & nephew) Haha yeah I say dindins when I'm speaking to animals or being silly. I call it dinner. But some Irish people do call it tea. I just had an O Briens sandwich - glorious, and theres B&J Cookie Dough in for dessert. And Sarah: Your family is from Hull? Small world. One of the few people I know in England lives near Hull. Aw glad you had some good food! Yeah my mum is from Hull and my dad is from Scotland-Stirling but I was brought up more southernly in Coventry I like having family all over, makes you feel like the whole country is your home and you can travel easier without feeling homesick. I think it's a more northern thing for sure. I've met people who aren't from the north and every one calls it 'dinner' - i'm confused myself Yes definitely northern thing. I had pasta with mushrooms and cheese and loads of pepper again - yummy:D
bethany725 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Mine is similar to yours Rawr. In Canada everyone calls it either Supper or Dinner, depending where you grew up. In my neck of the woods we called it supper. (We've eaten & tonight we had homemade chicken stew) Haha.. my family called it "supper" when I was growing up, too. I've been out of the house so long that everyone around me always called it "dinner," and that's always what I say now. It's funny to go back home and hear my dad say "What do you want for supper?" now. I just had an O Briens sandwich - glorious, and theres B&J Cookie Dough in for dessert. I'm so glad you got something yummy for dinner! I was worried about ya! Last night we had veggie stir fry.. Tonight, we're having spaghetti. I'm practicing my cooking skills.. no fires yet!
Nollaig Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Yups I'm sorted with money now! I'm happily stuffed!
~Andrea~ Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) It's quite common in wales to call it tea too. Tonight we're having pasta in cheese and ham sauce and salad. Edited April 7, 2009 by ~Andrea~
BookBee8 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 My Mum and me had chicken wraps with red peppers and onions with a BBQ sauce for lunch/dinner. She's working this evening so we had it early. I might have soup later on for tea.
Lucybird Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Chicken tikka masala ready meal. My family are going out and it seems a waste to cook just for me
Rawr Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Am currently making mash potato, gravy, mushy peas and frying some diced turkey.
Peacefield Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Tonight I'm running to this new place in town called Mort's Deli for takeout and I'm excited since it's super-yummy! It's an Eastern-European place but I've only been there once before and I'm dying to try something new! Can't wait .
chrysalis_stage Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Just had spagetti and grated cheese with lots of pepper
Lucybird Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 We had baked potatoes, no meat because it's Good Friday. Then we had some of my hot cross buns
Rawr Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Had a chippy as i wanted to save some food for tea tomorrow night
