Does Supper Come After Dinner?

Supper was originally a secondary lighter evening meal. ... The modern usage of "supper" varies considerably; sometimes supper is still used to describe a light snack or meal in the evening, either after or instead of dinner, but often it replaces dinner as the term for the main evening meal.

Is supper before or after dinner?

Supper is used especially when the meal is an informal one eaten at home, while dinner tends to be the term chosen when the meal is more formal. In some dialects and especially in British English, supper can also refer to a light meal or snack that is eaten late in the evening.

What time should supper be eaten?

It's better to get stuck into your lunch sooner rather than later between 12.30pm and 1pm. 12.38pm is the best time. And when it comes to dinner, the later you leave it the worse it can be for your diet. The optimum time for dinner is between 6pm and 6.30pm, 6.14pm preferably.
