“That, plus the use of “supper” (breakfast-dinner-supper) makes me think you might be a fellow Southerner!”


Huh?

We have been saying “supper” here in New England for years.

Yes, but breakfast for supper? (two part clue) Maybe just a generational thing. My parents were children of the Depression, raised in single parent households, and poor as church mice. Their supper often was a piece of cornbread and a glass of milk. We were not poor growing up, but on a career Army officer’s pay with four children, the budget was tight. Eggs, bacon, & biscuits were supper staples — I never complained!
