I will add: in Mexico, there is breakfast in the morning, a mid-morning snack, and then a huge meal around 3, and then tea, milk, or coffee and sweet bread before going to bed... but it definitely differs among families;).Beckyhttp://www.kidworldcitizen.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170764364936678547.post-41674414655740187682012-11-19T11:31:49.166+00:002012-11-19T11:31:49.166+00:00Spot on Reb! :)

My mother who's from outside Boston, always said supper but in NJ where I grew up, we said dinner. <br /><br />And that goûter in France! It's like their internal clocks are set for 4:00 but it starts buzzing around 3:00.

When I did playdates I'd always give kids their evening meal before they were collected around 6pm, which the French mums found very strange! On the other hand, when my kids went to their houses, they would not only not be given dinner, they would be offered a ton of cake instead, so they didn't want to eat any dinner when I got them home! Then I worked out that most of the French families have a big after school snack around 4pm, while dinner is not until much later...Omma Veladahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569279888058635631noreply@blogger.com
