I thought high tea was more fine dining eating finger sandwiches and treats off of tiered plate ware.

And how is you all can fit in all these multiple meals between meals? Don't Europeans hold jobs too? duck

That would mean eating a sandwich at 7 AM and eating a large meal at 3 PM and then nothing but snacks for another 9 hours? I can't imagine doing that.

You clearly aren't getting enough sleep. ...but snacking just means
no schedule and no major preparation effort, it doesn't mean
negligible quantity.

I have to wake up at 6AM but I can't usually ever fall asleep before midnight. I'm just a night person.

I'm very much a night person, and always have been,
which is part of why I intended to get a career in
astronomy, before I was deflected. Well, it often
seems to be more that I want to live in a world with
a 26 hour day, but anyway, it is a fight to be asleep
before three, which means peeling myself out of bed
on work days by dint of massive effort somewhere approaching
noon (like a dislodged object I wash up against noon
as the latest moment I can get away with, in most of
my places of employment). Had I the willpower and ambition,
I suppose I could make twice as much money just by playing
along with the whole morning thing, but I have never been
able to manage it. My day happily precesses by one cycle
every two weeks when I am on vacation. I can't wait for
retirement when I can decouple from obligations and freewheel
at my natural deranged circadian rhythm.

Breakfast, Dinner, Tea for me growing up, where I am now lunch/dinner is most common for midday & evening meal, local variations seem to be just that.

A sandwich would be a piece.

S!

So what do you say? Bearing in mind it's wrong though smile


hailing from Leeds it can only be Breakfast, Dinner and Tea

however it is Dessert, although my daughter thinks its Pudding

My Irish ex-mother-in-law always offered a 'Jammy Piece' at bedtime which was always welcome

and on Sunday morning always offered 'some of my hot buttered fadge' which was not welcome, and made my cry like a baby everytime she asked

Southern boy. Big breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and supper was generally a slice or two of Czech kielbasa and some sharp cheese. Maybe some bread. Cram a cigarette (before I married) and coffee in there during the day as well.

Yorugohan = bangohan. My wife chooses the later. Might be a regional usage like "Tea".

You know what I don't understand? Cold cereal for breakfast. Cereal is supposed to be hot.

Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat, y'all? Grits are dreadful.

Being a born and bred Londoner I can tell you quite categorically it is breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I spent three years living in Tyneside and had this same discussion many times. Bottom line is tea is a drink, not a meal.

I don't like grits either. Don't much like okra either unless its in a gumbo.

I'll eat cold taco salad and Chinese for breakfast and eggs and breakfast stuff for dinner. Them some good vittles.
