Also from Google AI

“In historical and rural contexts, "city folk" (or those adopting urban/modern habits) often called the midday meal "dinner" (the main meal) and the lighter evening meal "supper," a pattern common in the South and Midwest before "lunch" became universal for midday; today, "dinner" usually means the evening meal everywhere, making "supper" sound old-fashioned or regional.”

My Grandma said supper… lunch wasn’t a concept at my Grandma house… she cooked breakfast…watched Price is Right and the stories(soap operas) from10-3 than started supper… between breakfast and supper was either Spam, potted meat, Vienna sausages, bologna, lunch meat, fried buffalo ribs(fish), tuna, hog head cheese or skillet patties( hot water cornbread)

Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

However Dinner was at 530 when my dad got home from work. With 7 people (2 parents and 5 kids) if you weren't around you would have to eat something else because once people got seconds nothing was left. Can't tell you how many times I had to eat a Peanut Butter sandwich or Ramen Noodles cause I was too busy playing

My dad and his dad and so on grew up farming and that’s the terms they use - they call lunch “dinner”

Breakfast

Supper

Lunch or supper could be dinner if it was the family meal. We always had at least 1 a day.
