Lunch, dinner, tea.

Brunch indicates that it's between breakfast and lunch. If it were between breakfast and dinner it would be brinner. I think that settles most of the controversy.

You think we're bad. The French have breakfast at lunch (déjeuner) but, realising how silly that is, have a little breakfast before that.

Dinner then tea

Breakfast, dinnner, tea
“What’s for tea tonight?”
School dinners were not in the evening

A bit of pastry, a coffee, and a Gauloise, isn't a proper meal though.

Lunch is only at work, ie is it lunchtime yet.
Dinner is when I'm not working.
Tea is eaten in the late afternoon.

On my wife's side of the family, there seem to be only one word for both meals: they are both called dinner which can be very confusing. Yet, it is very simple really. A mid-day meal is called Lunch and an evening meal is Dinner. Tea is a drink made with boiling water. What could be simpler?
At least, there is no confusion about breakfast, every body seem to agree on that one.

Going to be the awkward one here, I've had my dinner gone two in the morning.

From north of the border and it's breakfast, lunch, dinner for me. Always has been.

That, sir, is an early breakfast!

Didn't seem like a breakfast, bacon and cabbage, boiled spuds, carrots, onion gravy...

I got fed up with confusion about when "dinner" is so I have breakfast, lunch and tea.

Hobbit Meal Times​

Resembling traditional English meal times, hobbits enjoy up to seven meals roughly every two to three hours. When they're home in the Shire, hobbits keep a strict schedule revolving around food. If you want to dine like a hobbit, these are the names and meal times of each feast:

• Breakfast - 7 a.m.
• Second Breakfast - 9 a.m.
• Elevenses - 11 a.m.
• Luncheon - 1 p.m.
• Afternoon Tea - 3 p.m.
• Dinner - 6 p.m.
• Supper - 9 p.m.

'There is frequent mention of second breakfast in cycle touring journals on CycleBlaze.

Breakfast
Lunch
Supper

Dinner is a more formal type of supper. Tea is an infusion hailing from India, possibly served with cake or biscuits.

Oop north.

TBH its 'Food' or 'tea' shouted as loud as you can because the adult children are gaming with noise cancelling headphones.

Feck it I feel as im the idiot that cooks after cycle commuting. Oh your traffic was hard, sat on your ass.

Supper is the meal you have after coming home from the pub and cannot be eaten before 10 pm.
