The situation in the UK is equally confusing.
Breakfast = desayuno/ No problem
Late breakfast or early lunch = brunch (US mainly)
Tea/ coffee and biscuits at 11 o´clock = elevenses
Midday meal = lunch (usually a light meal) or dinner (main meal)
Afternoon tea / high tea = sandwiches & tea /coffee
Evening meal = dinner or tea
A little later = dinner or supper
At bedtime = supper
Society is changing rapidly and eating arrangements depend on work patterns and location. Dinner is the main meal of the day but people tend to graze at all times of the day on fast foods.
Our children can have "School dinners" at lunchtime or dinnertime. 12.00/1.00pm
They come home for their tea at teatime 5.00/6.00pm´ .... all very confusing!!
