I grew up in North Dakota. Dinner was at noon. supper at about six, unless it was Sunday. That was a always roasted capon chicken dinner and then mom took the rest of the day off and Sunday supper at my house was know as catch as catch can.

Our day. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Supper is a cuppa just before bed time.

I always considered dinner a formal affair while supper was casual.

Dinner is the main meal, and was always midday or thereabouts. We had school dinners (I don't think we worried to much about presentation and quality back in the day - 1960's) but it ensured every kid had a hot dinner and pudding.
My own kids have dinner in the evening, there were no school meals when they were at school - and no works canteens either.
So it's changing.

Do you call the evening meal "dinner" or "supper"? I've always called it "dinner," but it seems to vary around the country and the world.
Yep!!!

Our little family of four called it 'dinner'.
Now our neighbors across the street called it 'hurry up'.
As in you better hurry up...or there won't be any.
Seven kids...
So it depends on where you live.

I was told that if the main meal is at noon it is dinner and the evening meal is supper. If the main meal is in the evening it is dinner and the noon meal is lunch.

Dinner here but when I grew up in Detroit it was supper in our house.
While were at it, do you sit on a couch or sofa?
