When's Dinner, I'm starving!

I'm curious as to when you eat the main meal of the day. We have moved ours from the usual time of around 5 or 6pm, to 3 - 4pm.

We thought of doing this for health reasons, and because Mr P generally goes for a 6 or 7 mile walk at nights, after dinner.

I know a few people who have dinner really late on - say 7 or 8pm. I don't know how they can go to bed without getting indigestion - but it suits some folk to eat that late.

So, I'm curious as to what time you all have dinner. Or tea, however you say it. Or is your main meal first thing in the morning, and you eat less during the day?

Mines cooking away now in the slow cooker. Pork chops to be served with roasties, stuffing, veg etc.

We will have it round about 7.00pm.

We like to eat with a tray on our lap watching TV.

Yes, we eat watching TV too. There's a cosiness to it that I like. Besides the kitchen is an office right now, so no chance of clearing it to set the table!

My dishes, must be washed up, before I go to bed, I can’t stand getting up to dishes in the morning, I also wash up as I go, I don’t have a dishwasher either.


My son also eats his evening meal in his bed as well,I know it wouldn’t suit everyone, but it suits us,

Son & I, if he isn't working late, eat our evening meal around 5.30/6 p.m. If he's working we do our own thing. I still eat around 6 & he eats after work usually nearer 9. I can't eat late, I suffer if I do.
