[quote=Anonymous]Super irritating to call it this. I sometimes call is ploughman’s supper which I guess is also gendered but the idea being that you worked hard and probably had a large midday meal and needed something easy before an early bedtime. My elderly relatives who were born in the 19th century would point out that by definition a supper was a light meal, often a cold plate. Dinner was the large meal of the day typically eaten between noon and three. Even the mills would typically shut down mid day to let workers go home for mid day dinner. It was sort of revolutionary (in a bad way) when they started either having on site cafeterias or expecting workers to bring a cold lunch.[/quote]
