this is how it was in my family. But more on Mon-Sat was lunch, Sunday was dinner at lunch time.
If it was a light meal after breakfast, it was called lunch. If a big meal it was called dinner. This was at noon. If it was a light meal at 5 P.M. it was supper, or a heavy meal at 5 P.M. it was dinner. Are you completely confused by my background, bearisgray? LOL

Breakfast, lunch, supper (or dinner)
We didn't have large dinners at noon like a lot of people I knew. (after church on Sunday) We got fresh Italian bread after Mass and then had huge sandwiches of fresh ham and cheese, Italian style. We sat in the back seat on the way home and dug at the bread until Mom said to stop- it was still warm and sooooo good!!!

Minnesota city folk here too!! Breakfast, lunch, and supper. Dinner was what we called the Sunday lunch, because that was always a "fancier" meal. Applied also to Easter Dinner, Thanksgiving Dinner, and Christmas Dinner. When I married a "St. Paulite", I "learned" that dinner and supper were supposed to be interchangeable!!

We had "lunch" when we ate at school - whether it was carried in a bag, lunch box, or when our school finally served "hot lunches" - usually the meals were very good - except for the time when they cleaned out the refrigerator and put corn and peas in red jello.
