The number of meals consumed per day differs greatly from culture to culture, by era and by socioeconomic status. In Europe alone, the name of the meal and time of day vary widely. Depending on the era, dinner could be in the morning or late afternoon. In the millennia before electricity, people lived differently than we do, typically retiring at nightfall. In the winter, that meant the last meal of the day was what we might call a late lunch. Thanks to FoodTimeline.org for most of this information: |
