Same at my house growing up in a small Arizona town. This is an interesting chat. It seems like the terms would be more regional than it appears here. DH grew up calling them breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Now that we are retired we eat breakfast soon after getting up in the morning, then we eat dinner sometime between noon and three, and maybe a little snack around five.
