MEAL
A meal is an instance of eating, specifi-
cally one that takes place at a specific time
and includes specific, prepared food.
Meals occur primarily at homes, restaurants,
and cafeterias, but may occur anywhere. Regu-
lar meals occur on a daily basis, typically sev-
eral times a day. Special meals are usually held
in conjunction with such occasions as birth-
days, weddings, anniversaries, and holidays.
50These are the most common set mealtimes in the
Western-world.
* Breakfast is usually eaten within an hour
or two after a person wakes up in the morning.
* Lunch is eaten around mid-day, usually between
11 am–2 pm.
* Supper in the US and UK is a meal eaten in the evening.
* Dinner is the main meal of the day, regardless
of whether it's at lunchtime or in the evening. Din-
ner also refers to the evening meal as a formal meal
or just the evening meal in the south of England.
* Dessert is typically eaten after dinner as a
treat. It may be considered a course within a meal
or a meal itself. Cakes, pastries, fresh fruit, and
ice cream are examples of common dessert food.
