One of the tastiest meals you can possibly imagine!

I give up, Paul!
Where's the tea?

The "edible stuff" can be just what you/I happen to fancy for Tea-time!

...this time, mine was egg-and-bacon, instead of ham sandwiches and fairy cakes or fruit trifle... ...!

So many choices!.... ...!

In the U.S., those who dine shortly after rising in the early daylight (or pre-dawn) all seem to agree that meal is breakfast; a snacktime betwixt breakfast and noon is sometimes called brunch. However, the noon meal is more often dubbed lunch, a term that was once applied mostly to a meal eaten away from home, usually at a workplace out of a (lunch)box. Quite often I hear the evening meal called dinner; in our home, when I was young, we had breakfast in the early morning, dinner at noon and supper in the evening. Nevertheless, since I work three or so days a week at night (until 2009, it was six nights per week), my eating times are rather scattered, sometimes skipped; usually, my first eating time is late evening or, on a night off work, closer to midnight and my last (usually the 2nd, if not the only) is in the latter part of the morning; thus, they are my night and morning meals.

I still don't know how you manage to eat a big cooked meal just before going to bed. If I did that I would be awake with indigestion all night.

From my knowledge of nursing homes for the elderly the last meal of the day is called Supper & served at about 4:30 pm in the afternoon. That is what I would call tea time. If you're lucky you might get a couple of biscuits before going to bed. I'm not sure you would survive.
