The name of the evening meal is a common source of confusion between generations. For Grandma, dinner was the noontime meal and supper was the evening one. Dinner was the biggest meal of the day when men would come in from working and need enough meat and potatoes to get them through the rest of their labor. Supper was simple. Peanut butter and crackers, a bowl of Post Toasties, cornbread and sweet milk.
