21. In NW Ohio it was called supper. Some people moved into town and referred to it as Dinner. My mom said, "now it just sounds silly to say Davinci painted the Last Dinner, now doesn't it." 22. We, here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, (aka God's country) call it supper, pop, root for da Packers and eat pasties. 23. We always called it "dinner" when I was growing up (in Toronto, Canada). My fiance (who grew up in Maryland) always says "supper." So now I pretty much use the two words interchangeably. 24. it was pop, the grill, garbage, and kleenex until i moved out of the midwest to the west coast. 25. That was a great poll, it made me think of things I hadn't thought of in awhile. My mother use to tell me that a frappe` just meant getting whip cream on your sundae but someone else told me that a frappe` is actually a milkshake. I'm still not sure about that one but the differences are still fun regardless. 26. On my grandparents' farm in Nebraska dinner was the meal we had at noon, lunch was the snack we had around four (just before evening chores needed to be done),and supper was the evening meal. 27. I grew up in Ohio, and while it was "dinner" during the week, my parents insisted that Sunday had its own rules: the mid-day meal was "dinner", while the meal at the end of the day was "supper". This was only on Sunday, however! 28. Eastern Pennsylvania: Dinner, soda, hoagie or sub. 29. Another New Englander, here. When I was growing up, supper was what we ate in the immediate family. My mother or grandmother would serve Sunday dinner to the extended family at about 2 PM, and my mother also threw elegant dinner parties for her friends. Now, when I serve hotdogs and beans to my immediate family, it's supper. But when I pull out a recipe from a book or online, it's dinner I'm serving, no matter who eats it. 30. I'm from England, and we call it dinner. However, one set of grandparents has 'tea' at around five, with cress sandwiches and such, then has supper later at about nine. We have dinner at abour seven. 31. CT here- a big meal around lunchtime or mid-afternoon is dinner. Supper is later in the evening. Subs are called "Grinders". Sprinkles are "shots". 32. I'm from New Zealand, and I always called it "dinner", although some of my friends called it "tea", which I always thought was weird. 33. We eat dinner at a table, supper on the couch or porch :) 34. Writing in from Maine: We mix the supper/dinner title in my house, but call an ice cream topping "jimmies", milkshake "frappe", and a sub/hoagie sandwich: "Italian" (a lot of Mainers call it that). Thought it would give you all a chuckle! 35. I figured this link was appropriate to this story... 36. Here in Beautiful British Columbia Canada we called it Supper for years now the trend is Dinner. It's like we call a Dinner Roll... Dinner Bun. and still do 37. Growing up in Chicago and now living on the east coast, I have noticed that anything you push and has wheels is a carriage. Maybe in Chicago, everything has its own name instead of shared names. It is a sub not a grinder, and pop not soda. 38. @28, hey Bob, relax. The entire Midwest calls soft drinks "pop". No need to break out the f-bomb on it. 39. VT here-- We say soda, dinner and sub. To me, jimmies are stictly the choc. sprinkles, the long, multicolored ones are rainbow sprinkles, and anything else is just..well, sprinkles! haha 40. In rural NW Kansas dinner was the noon meal, supper the evening meal. Soda pop was followed by the brand name [what kind of soda pop do you want?] |
