When did dinner become lunch?

589 views

Back in the day you had dinner in the afternoon, and supper in the evening.

Now you have dinner in the evening, and who even invited this lunch guy?

When did this change happen? Is there a reason for it?

Regionalism. Grew up in New England USA. Midday meal was lunch, and evening meal was dinner. Didn’t come across the word “supper” until I moved to the Midwest USA as a teenager and there it is used interchangeably with dinner.
