Yes, pudding is what you have after your tea, unless of course you have a pudding supper for your tea, like a black pudding supper. 13 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Deep fried everything up there, watched a 9 inch pizza thrown in to the hot fat years ago! Deep fried pizza is less common than it once was, but still common enough. I have not had one, could you imagine how hot the cheesy sauce would be?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 We were waiting in the queue for a "fish Supper" and heard someone order a pizza, the very thing you would expect to be cooked in a wood fired brick oven!

I asked him if he wanted gravy with his dinner and he answered, "I'm not that northern yet!" Apparently he gets told off up there for not calling dinner, tea. Anybody else aware of the great divide? Why would you call dinner tea? You have dinner at dinner time (12 ish) and tea at tea time (evening). You southerners are weird!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yod dropper Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 There was a program on the BBC about 'dinner' and how it became fashionable to have it later and later, started of course by the upper echelons and aped by those lower down the social scale. In Adrian Bell's trilogy, Corduroy, (father of the reporter Martin Bell) he tells how he moved up from London or thereabouts (and the moneyed classes) post WW1 to rural Suffolk to work on a farm and learn about farming. He had to get used to dinner being in the middle of the day which is what we always had and in fact I still eat my main meal in the middle of the day, my dinner. He also spoke of how he found that people always visited the back door and that they never went to the front. In contrast to many of the people I grew up around, this is something we also did but I'd guess it's pretty much died out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of the time if I knock on the front door to make a delivery someone will appear in the window and wave me round to the back. Plenty of houses where the letterbox is on the back door too.

Scully Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Collecting some scrap from a Fell side farm many years ago, a mate was invited in for ‘ a spot of dinner’. After finishing his meal he was instructed to clean his plate with his bread ( quite common growing up in Cumbria ) after which the lady of the house put his pudding on it. Whole drinking the following cuppa, he noticed the ring halfway down his mug, indicating where the last one had been when it went cold. ?

amateur Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) As a Northerner who migrated to the South, I have come across this language difficulty many times. I was brought up on Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and Supper. Breakfast - Porridge, Bacon, Eggs, Sausages, Fried (white) Bread and Black Pudding and lots of Strong Tea Dinner - Hot-Pot. Shepherd's Pie or Meat and Potato Pie (Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding on Sundays) with at least carrots, turnips and greens. Suet or Rice Pudding for afters, with a cup of tea Supper - Marmite on toast and Horlicks A diet like this is what made the industrialised North of Britain great. Now, of course, that I have come South and married a Plumstead girl, I eat Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. which consists of Breakfast - Porridge (if I make it myself) or Cereal Lunch - Omelette and Salad with wholemeal bread and an apple, or maybe a steak and salad. Dinner - Salmon steak, Fish pie, Thai Curry with a bottle of the appropriate wine, followed by more fresh fruit or an occasional (rare) sweet Supper - no chance However, I have found that the lighter diet matches my more sedentary life ps, somehow I have managed 3000 posts of drivel Edited December 9, 2017 by amateur Ruddy system would not allow me to add more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrclark Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Breadcake nonsense. Cake is sweet and can be eaten for pudding or for having with a cup of tea or maybe as part of a high tea. For those that call them balmcakes, well that is because they are bams who obviously have no clue what cake is. It is a bread roll, or simply a roll, no more complicated than that.
