Fantastic episode, I have been looking forward to this series and you're doing a great job delivering
I'm 38 and grew up in Missouri. My grandparents called it supper and dinner too
I’m reading L.M Montgomery and being from the late 1800’s early 1900s in Canada they said dinner for their during the day time meal and then supper for their evening meal
Neat
Are those new production K rations? Is there a company out there that is making these? If so I want some 😊
This deserves a standing ovation.
People keep saying to crossover with Steve, but World War Wisdom would make a wee bit more sense for the WW2 videos.
My mother says supper. Her father served in the Pacific. We are from New Jersey. It's about the only time I've heard it used outside of old movies.
South Alabama here, we use “supper” and “dinner” interchangeably. Although I remember my grandmother saying “Sunday dinner” for lunch and “supper” for supper lol
here in georgia, we say supper still
Portales NM, breakfast, lunch and supper.
I'm from north of Charlotte, NC and, I almost always say supper. My grandparents always used dinner to mean lunch. I don't use dinner for lunch too much anymore but, it was definitely the standard in NC.
Thanks for taking the time to make this.
25:18 "It's good eating."
Yeah, that guy was really selling that. Oscar material. 😅
My Mother says Supper. Always has. She is from Ft Worth, Texas. She was a little girl during WWII
midwest central michigan, and my mom uses supper. she is 75, my grandfather was in WWII and he also used supper. I grew up in Florida and call it dinner.
Still use supper, northern manitoba here
I'm from Louisiana and I say supper
Someone needs to manufacture these again! I would buy them 😊
I did Civil War reenacting and living history in Chattanooga for about 2 years, made lots of homemade hardtack. 4 cups flour to one cup water, roll it out, cut it out, then dry it in a warm oven (200 degrees) for a long as it takes. I’ve lived off that and bacon and beans for more weekends than I want to count.
I had always heard that dinner was your biggest meal, and in many places now that is the evening meal. As that happened supper fell out of use even though that's the term for the dedicated evening meal.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Born and grew up in Walla Walla, WA. Spent 6 years (3rd grade to 8th grade) as a missionary kid in Bangkok, Thailand. High school and college in WNC and Eastern TN. Lived in FL now for 30 years. BUT… everybody knows that there are 7 meals during the day – breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, tea, dinner, and supper. 😊
I live in Iowa and hardly ever say "dinner." It's generally lunch and supper. Dinner is still used to refer to the midday meal by a lot of older folks, like in their 70s and 80s.
In N Al and S C Mo the vernacular is breakfast, lunch, and supper. The gussied up boxes may had tasted better than the ration it contained.
Northwestern Ontario – Supper is the common word for the evening meal, though Dinner was also very common
Interestingly, the only place I've lived where Dinner was used for midday meal was in Saskatchewan. Lunch is also common, but it was the first place I went that Dinner was used enough to draw my attention to it.
Question: If you were the US military, would you want some of your rations to be delicious?
I wouldn’t. That’s gonna cause more problems than it solves.
Central Texas, here. Whenever you referred to all three meals of a day, rhetorically, you’d say, “breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
When you’re just referring to the evening meal in a general way, then it might be supper or dinner… 50/50.
More specifically, supper is eating at home and dinner is eating out. I’d say that was the rule of thumb here.
Oh, c’mon… give the military some credit. They’re trying to make the best of a situation by making those exterior boxes pretty.
I’m sure they knew the axiom, “You start eating with your eyes first.”
Here in Minnesota, the term “supper” is still used frequently
According to my husband's father, who served in North Africa and Sicily (where he did indeed get malaria) they used the synthetic lemon drink to rinse their hair – killed the lice dead.
I grew up saying breakfast, lunch, and supper, or dinner if it was for Sabbath or a special occasion. Dinner can also just be the main meal of the day. I mostly grew up in Washington State, but my parents spent time growing up in California, Alberta, Idaho, and Washington.
id love to see you make french rations
