What are you having for tea tonight?
What are you having for your evening meal?
I haven't got a clue and it's dangerously creeping closer to being too late to have anything for dinner. |

Pizza.
I've been on a salad diet recently in an attempt to see my toes again, so I think I deserve pizza. |

Re: What are you having for tea tonight?
Ive just realised that I've never questioned this before as I, nor anyone I know, calls it that, but why do people call evening meals 'tea'?
There's no logic in that. Tea is a drink. To me, calling your evening meal 'tea' is as daft as calling it 'milkshake'. "Ere, Barbara, wot you avin for your milkshake tonight?" I need a white person to explain this to me. |

^ for me it's like... if you have it before 6pm it's tea and if you have it later than 6 then it's dinner. (I don't think anyone else shares this malpractice.)
If I tell people I have dinner between 5 and 5:30 they say it's too early for dinner. But if you say you're having tea then they let you off. Yeah - for me it's just dependent on time. |

For me it's where I'm eating it. If it's at home watching Rob and Romesh on telly then it's tea. If I'm going out then it's dinner

Re: What are you having for tea tonight?
I always thought the difference between the name for an evening meal was just regional, I didn't realise some people said different things depending on the time they ate it.

Re: What are you having for tea tonight?
Dinnertime was lunchtime when I was a kid in the 70s, hence school dinners. Then I vaguely recall it suddenly becoming a sort of class snobbery thing to have 'dinner' in the evening, but that might just be my memory playing tricks.
Anyway, Having a huge meal in the evening is an excellent way of getting fat. I prefer a cooked meal at lunchtime, or 'dinnertime' as it used to be called, and then a very modest tea at about 6 0'clock. |

I've put a fajita rub on some chicken breasts, and we're having it with some odd barbecue bits we have leftover - a burger for him, chill sausages for me. I made some guacamole earlier to have with it, along with some lettuce and the bulgar wheat thingy I do. |

Re: What are you having for tea tonight?
I've never had proper afternoon tea, with the fancy sandwiches and cakes etc. It's something I'd like to try.
My social anxiety has always been at it's worst trying to drink in public so going out for coffee or tea and cake aren't things I've done much of. I am ok with my family though, and now one friend who I quite often have a coffee with after a walk, so maybe it's a new possibility |
