What are we eating for ..... 2015

I've also noticed on some USA recipe sites they call Entrees what we call Mains. My grandmother always called Desserts "Sweets".

Americans call the main dish an entree. Confuses my hubby as an entree should be a starter or appetizer. In the UK the evening meal is called 'tea' although I've never picked that one up and don't say it. Desserts are afters. In Scotland seems most say 'sweetie' to refer to anything sugary.
 

It was a lazy day yesterday for supper.....
I ended up using the frozen burgers and BBQ'd them from frozen....

Steamed cauliflower smashed with sour cream, herbs, and spices was the veggie...

A slight correction, if I may Ameriscot, calling the evening meal in the U K 'tea' is only in working class households, We call it dinner, but some rather posh friends we used to have always called it supper!Dessert in England (as opposed to other places in the UK) is called pudding by everyone we know, and only called dessert on a menu.

Thanks Oakapple, like Pam, you have put me firmly in my class as well...............and like Pam, where I am, we call the midday meal dinner and the evening meal tea.:)...........also desserts is called afters and sometimes pudding.
 
For supper tonight, I really feel like going for a wok.....
B/S chicken breast cubed and marinated..
Broccoli, onion, garlic, sweet pepper, mushrooms will wok with me...

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my Princess
3 eggs scrambled with a turkey sausage for me..
 
Well, I NEVER woked........
Somehow I ended up making a tuna casserole instead..
I love those one dish meals... Tons of veggies and a can of tuna with herbs and spices, a little sauce, and "VOILA" ... A casserole......
 
Supper tonight (Sunday) I have some marinated and frozen chicken breasts that I will put on the BBQ frozen.. I dry marinated them some time ago and then froze them in individual bags.. A butcher up here told me what to do and it is just wonderful..

I have a lovely cauliflower that I will steam, smash coarsely, add some sour cream, herbs and spices and that will be one of the veggies..
BBQ butternut squash will be there as well...
A bit of coleslaw as well..

Breakfast will be 3 poached eggs each in my poacher..
Turkey bacon for my Princess and a Turkey sausage for me........

Lately Princess has been having a small, light lunch..
Cottage cheese with some pineapple...
 
We've been having BBQ Meatfest with family here all weekend. This morning we had a fry-up - (British) bacon, eggs, tattie scones, fried tomatoes.
 
Homemade chicken burgers on the BBQ...
As usual they were delicious.. We actually ate the whole pound of meat.. 2 burgers each....

Steamed cauliflower with parsley ...
Butterscotch pudding with heavy cream..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon for my Princess..
3 eggs scrambled for me.....
 
Salmon en croute tonight which I cheated with and made with some frozen puff pastry. It's in the fridge now and I will cook it later on.New potatoes and mashed turnip/swede with it. no pudding this time.
 
Supper tonight (Tuesday) was a total disaster..
I had some frozen flounder that I thawed and pan fried in EVOO..
The fish must of been off because it not only tasted weird but was very watery....
Neither of us ate it...

I made a turnip casserole in the oven as a veggie that we both enjoyed and finished the whole thing.. That's all we ate for supper..

Breakfast for me was a real mixture of leftovers.... diced red onion, sliced mushrooms, sausage cut up and cubed all in the skillet in EVOO till browned and then I added 3 eggs with some tabasco sauce.. Topped it with some shredded mozzarella cheese and placed the skillet under the broiler to brown the cheese..

Princess had her usual.. 3 egg omelette with 2 slices of turkey bacon.. I always add some herbs to her omelette..
 
Tonight? Well.. It's going to be a surprise.. Hubby pulled something out of the downstairs freezer that is in a container.. It's been there about 6 months. I obviously thought enough about it to save it. SoOO... when it thaws, we will know what we are eating tonight. Perhaps at a restaurant.
 
Supper tonight (Wednesday) was chicken breast marinated on the BBQ..

Butternut squash on the BBQ was the veggie and some cole slaw as well..

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette for my Princess with 2 slices of turkey bacon..
3 eggs scrambled for me..
 
Tuna casserole for supper with loads of veggies, sauce, and cheese..

I LOVE those one dish meals !!!!

Breakfast tomorrow (Friday) will be french toast....
 
Tried making salmon and potato fish cakes yet again, but just too mushy to fry, still looking for a just right recipe.

So I spread the mixture all out on cookie sheet, baked for about 3/4 hr. until crisp around edges and cut into squares. Very tasty.

I agree oakapple...the mid-day meal is Lunch...any light snack late afternoon is high tea...the evening meal is Dinner...and a snack later in the evening is supper..

That said I know when I was growing up in Scotland we always called lunch ''Dinner' and the evening meal Supper.

I have no idea why you seem to be so angry , this is not about class , it's about what it's called in different parts of the country or what it may have been called as one grew up..
