I always thought tea was more like an afternoon snack

Dinner means lunch, tea means the evening meal

Or for the less wordy-inclined, dinner=largest meal. Lunch is when the largest meal is not the midday meal. Supper is when the largest meal is not the evening meal. But if breakfast is the largest what do we call it? Hell if I know.

It's partly regional, some people go with tea for dinner and others use supper.

Since I was young, I've known tea as a 5 o'clock sorta meal, just before dinner (which is usually 6pm). Supper is later, before sleeping.

I'd say breakfast lunch and dinner. Supper was always a biscuit and a glass of milk before bed. Tea was the drink but I knew what my friends meant if they invited me for tea.

I've never in my life had supper. It's always breakfast, dinner and tea, though as you said, it's probably a regional thing.

Is it even dinner if it's a salad or sandwich? And you're missing out if you don't have a bit of supper before bed!

Honestly, dinner for me consists of that sort of thing. A sandwich, beans on toast, can of soup, etc. Tea is the big meal of the day in my household anyway. And nobody I know has supper haha, may give it a shot one day
