Btw, in Finland we usually eat our dinner latest at about at 18.00. For me it is really difficult to be (for example) in the Southern Europe, where they eat their meal about at 22.00...
Normally we eat at 17:00h. But I'm Flemish not Danish!
When it's later I ussualy eat chips and chocolat in front of television as well but that is something else.
I voted 18.00 but it's not as simple as that.
When we eat at home it's usually between around 18.00, depending on the time my wife gets home and if she had to taste some new food products on the job . When we go out for dinner which happens almost every friday and saturday we eat between 19.00 and 20.00.
it is better not to say anything and let people doubt if you're stupid; then to speak and take the doubt away. - Mark Twain
I usually eat around the 20h-22h range. When I'm in Lisboa, sometimes even later. Very seldom do I eat before. At 17h-18h, while some of you are dining, I'm having a mid-afternoon snack!
I would usually have something at 19:00, but that's just because I get home from work at that time. On the weekend it can range between 17:00 and 23:00....
When I'm in Italy - I go there once a year - we would usually have something at 21:00.
I am a Finn and usually I eat dinner at 16.00 or 17.00, when I get home. Later in the evening (between 8 pm or 10 pm) I eat something too, like in my childhood home. But in some Finnish homes they eat hardly anything after 18.00. It is a problem for foreing visitors, who are staying as guests in Finnish homes. I have seen newspaper interviews, where those guests are very surprised and complain about this.

If BogPoet comes to visit you, he'll be persuaded at 17h that you take a big snack very early!
