When do you eat Dinner/Supper?

[BlueStarryHat]

I used to eat at 6 because that's when I ate growing up, but when I got over here in Jersey, my uncle made dinner for 8-ish. It wasn't so much that he had a preferred time. He would just procrastinate, and woe was you if you asked him what time dinner was going to be. When he was alive, we sometimes didn't eat until 9:30 or 10 p.m. When I became the cook I aimed for around 7:30 to try and please everyone. Now that I'm eating better and my one cousin has moved out with my Godson, my aunt just said to not cook and the rest of us will survive on our own. Fine by me-I make my own food and eat at 7 p.m. now.

Usually 5:30-6:00. We eat in the living room watching tv. My husband usually falls asleep as soon as he’s done eating. Sometimes with his plate still on his lap.

This was my dad he always napped after eating, 6-7 we knew where he was sleeping on the couch.

We have not had a set time lately since our kids are all about grown (youngest is 17) so it depends on how we feel or what else we may want to do that day. But, I think in general we tend to eat earlier than most people.

My husband gets home at 2:30/3:00 so 4:30/5p to us is equates to probably 7:30/8 dinner time for other people who get home from work around 5:30/6p. We will occasionally eat that late, but typically we are winding down and getting ready for bed by 8pm (since he wakes up at 4am). He has always had a similar work schedule, so when the kids were younger we would usually start making dinner as soon as they got home from school.

Sometimes it's a little earlier or later, but I generally shoot for about 5:30 here.

Some time between 5 - 8. I’m down to 3 kids living here this summer and base it on their schedules, so it changes almost daily. When they were younger I’d also base it on the nightly activities and pick a time when most could make it. I don’t eat anything after dinner because I can’t sleep.

Usually 4:30 but sometimes could be later depending if on vacation, a dinner meeting, etc.

Between 4:30-5 most of the time. I get home from work usually between 4:15-4:45 depending on where I'm working, then some nights I have leftovers and some nights I cook. But I eat/start cooking as soon as I get home and change.

Was on the cruise board and people mentioned that dinner is either to early or too late. Someone mention people eating at 5… we have been know to go to a restaurant at 4:30 - 5 .

Here we eat supper between 5-6 . Can even be earlier since I usually start cooking at 4:30. This is because my husband has to leave for work for 6 or when the kids were younger we had baseball or some other event we had to be at by 6:30.

Anywhere between 4-8pm...it really just depends on the day and everyones schedules. I. prefer to eat earlier than later and if it's my choice whe we go to restaurants, I'd go around 5 to hopefully beat most of the crowd.

7.30 for 8pm.
