Again adopted from my family, dinner is the biggest meal of the day,
whether at noontime or in the evening. Back when I was a child, most
days dinner would be in the evening so the noon meal was "lunch". But on
Sundays, when we'd go out to a restaurant after church, dinner was the
noontime meal and the evening meal was "supper". But we'd also use
"supper" frequently for the evening meal, no matter how much had been
eaten at noon.
