Time to eat!

Most of the times I eat around 7pm, but there are exceptions sometimes, like 4.30pm or 9.15pm. Just depends on when I feel like cooking, not on when I'm hungry

I am Spanish, but I use to have dinnetr between 20:00 and 21:00 I hate the late dinners.

Anyway, once I had dinner at 23:00!

I really hate it! but most of spanish people don't mind. I think it is due to the Spanish hour: we are 2 hours over the sun hour, that means that, if you see a clock marking 14:00, it is actually 12:00 (by sun hour). The 0º greenwich is in Barcelona and we have the same hour than other Europeans!!

we are mistreated!!

It depends from the season and the day, usually at home, something from 19:30 to 20:00 but in summertime, more likely 20:00-21:00. When I hang out with friend, never before 21:00 - 21:30.... if it's summertime, aperitives till dusk!

The days of school I have the breakfast at 08:40, but the days of hollidays (like now), I have the breakfast when I wake up (between 11:00 am and 02:00 pm) but some days I don´t have breakfast, I have the lunch. Usually I have the lunch between 02:30 pm and 04:00 pm.
I'm Spanish

usually something like:
- week: lunch at 5pm, smaller meal at 9pm
- weekend: lunch at 3pm, smaller meal at 8pm
- random days: smaller meals during day, dinner at 8pm

..or no lunch or dinner at all.. or nothing at all.. or eating whole day...

Being originally from the North of England, this question confused me at first, because 12:00 or 13:00 weren't included as possible answers. In Manchester, we eat breakfast in the morning, have dinner between midday and two pm, and have our tea in the evenings after work or school. So I answered 19:00 which is my normal tea-time. Tea is of course the most important meal of the day, and if some pretentious southeners like to call it "dinner", we sneer at them for the ignorant fools that they are.

And in case you think this is just a local dialect thing, think again: Why do children who eat prepared meals at school at around midday have "school dinners" served and cooked by "dinner ladies"? - even the BBC uses and accepts those phrases as "good English"!

Yours chauvinistically.
