For the uninitiated the noon meal in the South is dinner and
the evening meal is supper.
Tonight was 7/8 inch ribeyes, hand selected for lotsa marbeling,
marinated in olive oil, garlic, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar,

Salad on the side consisted of romaine lettuce, fresh tomatoes,

Guys around here talk of racks of deer rifles in the pickups -
for on the way home 'road kills'. Country roads with forest on
both sides provide deer in the ditches and roadbed.
Some of them never ate beef until they moved away from home.
I spend time with them in the early a.m. - one is 88 the other is only 70
something. The tales they have of the old days is something to hear.

We walked to school and my dad gave me a dollar to buy lunches for three of
us. I bought 3 lunches at 33 cents each. That left a penny which was used to
buy a penny candy on the way home. Remember penny candies?

Ah yes, the returnable pop bottles. I used go door to door, around the
neighborhood. offering the service of taking the pop bottles away. I would
haul them to the store and buy candy. My parents did not believe in candy.
So I had to work for it!

Hey now. That car was waaaay ahead of its time, in terms of the CV
transmission. Weird thing was, that reverse was a simple change of
direction, so it could go backwards as fast as forwards.
But you didn't want to get into an accident in one.
Our local cop in Alphen Aan Den Rijn had one... as kids we knew that
sound from a mile^H^H^kilometer away.

I was a farm boy from upstate NY, and we always call the noon meal lunch.
In fact the first I ever heard it called dinner was about 20 years ago. I
suppose it's probalby a regional thing. Even today, I never hear the noon
meal referred to as dinner.

Look what else they made in 1949:
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o290/Robatoy/bentley.jpg
Some schools around here serve 3 meals a day. At least 2 for most students.
I found that out from one of our friends who was the Kitchen manager for
a local district. Several federal and state programs funded the early and
late one. Another for lunch, but more got the lunch than the others.
When I grew up - it was lunch bag in classroom until 5th grade when we
moved to the senior elementary school. Then we had 'first' shift in the
cafeteria while the Jr. Hi got the second and third shift. Size limited
number of seats and age mixing was not allowed. High school brought another
school and monster cafeteria. Then we moved overseas and we walked home
for lunch every day.
Larger companies I worked for had good to great cafe's and two small ones
had none. Food was close by.

"Lunch" was always at noon for us. "Dinner" was typically in the evening but
could be eaith noon or late. "Supper" was always in the evening.

Midday supper turned into lunch when school didn't allow enough time
between morning and afternoon sessions for a family meal. Wageningen,
Netherlands, late 50's.

Certainly there were no school lunches in my time over there. In high
school there was a lunchroom, or whatever it was called for the kids who
couldn't go home because it was too far.
But early on in grade school, we had the hot meal of the day around noon,
and sandwiches again at night.

I remember one store with 2 for a penny, three for a penny and five for a
penny candies.
26 cents bought you a pack of cigarrettes if you could find somebody old
enough to buy them for you or, somebody with handwriting good enough to
write a note to state they were for your parents.
Later we discovered 25 cent milkshakes (long bike ride downtown) at DQ but
the Blizzard came out for an extra 10 cents. Parents didn't want to spring
for the extra money and you would have to eat for the next few days after
one.

Indeed they do. I used to carry my shotgun and shells on the bus, in order
to go hunting at a friend's house after school. Put it in my locker at
school and that was all there was to it. Like you said - try to do that
today...

Well - I was born in '53 and I always knew of lunch in school. In the very
early days, everyone brought a bag lunch and in the first couple of school
years, we ate lunch in our classroom. We moved, and I entered a new school,
and they had a lunchroom. If you brought your lunch, you ate it in the
lunchroom. If not, you bought lunch in the cafeteria. If memory serves me
correctly (and it seldom does...) lunch was something like 25 or 30 cents
back then. A fortune to a kid, to be sure. Point being, we had school
lunch, or cafeteria from as long as I can remember. But... that's where I
grew up....

I'd never heard of a midday meal as "supper" before at all...
"Lunch" for farm kids in farming country was what city folks w/ desk
jobs did. Also what took in the brown small paper bag or the Roy Rogers
lunchbox to grade school as there was no such thing as school lunches
then... :)

As I am also...everybody in town just walked home at noon; being farm
kids during grade school years mother paid one of our classmates' mother
for fixing our dinner, too, and we went just went with whichever one it
was to their house.
In jr and sr high, while we lived out of town it was close enough we
drove home quite a bit of the time or walked to Bob's diner for a greasy
but wonderful-tasting $0.25 burger; fries were another $0.15 iirc. The
last year of HS they did open a cafeteria and cut the time down and
going home was no longer feasible but often would still do the diner
instead if had any change...I think like many others they have a "can't
leave campus" rule now.

I'm sure it is mostly. We, being midwest, never thought of NY as
farming. :) I've since been to much of NY other than the city and know
it's not all paved over. The scale and type of farm operations are
entirely different, of course. For one thing, it rains there. :)

I'm ten years older ... and I rode my buckskin mare to school on days I
planned on going dove hunting, hobbled her up to graze on the football
field, and left my shotgun and shells in the wood shop teacher's office
until school was over.
Just try that today, anywhere in this country ... times do change.
