I'm eating dinner right now, it's 9:30PM. For me, this isn't odd at all. I was brought up with this to a certain extent.

Well since I generally eat breakfast at about 2 p.m. everyday, yes I eat dinner late. About 1 a.m.

I call that laziness


Well, I work the closing shift at my job. My shift is generally 3 pm - 12am. That is why I wake up at 2 pm.I catch alot of grief about it(when I wake up), but I then ask people who work at 8 am why they don't wake up at 5 am. They never have a reply..........

my family always ate around 5 or 6; but dad was up at 5, eating at 5:30; had lunch at 11...so anything after 6 and he was going out himself. i stayed at my best friends house regularly and they ate around 7 or 8 and i was always starving before dinner :/

i usually cook around 5 or 6 now (Since i get up at 5 as well) but occassionally i'll cook as late as 7 and eat around 8, it's not often though

Many nights I'll eat supper around 8 or 9PM. If it is homemade lasagne I usually don't expect it till at least 8PM or later.

Edit: I prefer to eat at 5PM though but sometimes I'll eat a light meal to tide me over until we have a big family meal together (big plate full o' scottish mince, shepherds pie, scotch meat pies, lasagne etc)

I am about to serve dinner now. Chicken Parmasian with fettucini. YUMMY!! We always eat around 10pm.
Maybe it's our culture?

I usually eat around 8-10pm.

I know people that don't start eating Christmas dinner until 11:30pm or midnight.

I eat whenever I am hungry. I live by myself and work long and odd hours so meal time can be anytime and anywhere.

Any more, it's whenever the mood strikes / whenever I happen to be at home (or the day's restaurant of choice).

I grew up in a family that managed three farms... and though Grandma tried to have dinner ready around 6:00 PM, it wasn't unusual for us to all be outside working until well after dark (11 PM or 12 AM sometimes), before we went inside to eat.

Those were the days.
