[quote=Anonymous]My mom, from NYC taught me that the term supper is working class, or from working class roots. She is snobby about things like that - which makes me laugh. Still, I think in the circles she grew up in, very upper class, only the help had " supper" and it was eaten in the kitchen, not the dining room. I do call the evening meal dinner though. I have rarely heard anyone call it supper. Along those same snobberies, My mom gets really upset that we do not eat in the dining room every night (mostly eat at breakfast bar in kitchen as it seats 4) and that we don't use cloth napkins or china plates every night. We use paper napkins except for special dinners and, when the children were small, melamine plates. L As they are older now we kind of switch around. The melamine plates are cute, bright colors. I like them. When she would visit she would get herself a cloth napkin and ask for her food to be on china. I just rolled my eyes to myself.[/quote]
