Supper vs Dinner. In reality, the difference between supper and dinner is not just cultural, but also a personal definition. Throughout the world, dinner is considered an early meal that is eaten somewhere between 2 pm and 5 pm, while supper is a later meal eaten between 7 pm and 11 pm. This doesnât hold true for all cultures or countries, but it is a relatively safe bet when trying to determine the difference.
Words for meals in English are: breakfast: first meal of the day, eaten in the morning. lunch: a meal eaten around noon. supper: a meal eaten in the evening. dinner: the biggest meal of the day. For most Americans that's the same as supper, though some people have their big meal at lunch time and so call that dinner. brunch: a meal too late to normally be called breakfast and too early to be lunch, and/or which takes the place of breakfast and lunch. There is no commonly-used word for a late lunch or early dinner or supper. Dinner times vary pretty widely. A big meal eaten anywhere between about 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm would routinely be called supper or dinner and no one would consider that strange.
