Please, can someone tell me how to add yet anther meal into this equation, in a suitably dignified fashion?
I humbly suggest 'elevenses' between breakfast and midday.

Keep' em coming!
I used to fancy a cruise as the whole daily routine is centred around meals. Mmmmm.
Such a shame that your chances of catching norovirus (pre-Covid) were so high that you wouldn't want to eat anything! (Or so my emetophobic husband says.)
Elevenses?Growing up in the 1960s in the northern midwest US, near Chicago, our working class meals were breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Snacks were unscheduled. At that same time, one of my aunts who married a farmer from Kentucky, changed her meal names to breakfast, lunch and supper.
However, after reading this thread as well as the tea towel discussion, I am changing to breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, and unscheduled snacks. Please, can someone tell me how to add yet anther meal into this equation, in a suitably dignified fashion?
So this must be low tea, and later must be high tea ?
Was there ever a Low Tea?
On BBC America, in the British program Are You Being Served ?, Mr. Humphries and Mrs. Slocombe, Miss Brahams, Captain Peacock, And Mr. Lucas all loved their tea break at Grace Brothers.

On a ward with a sympathetic senior nurse, he might be gifted a cup of tea and whatever chocolate had been brought in as aleaving present, but not all wards were that nice.

Nope, a tea break is an official rest time at work, normally 15 minutes or so. Just long enough to finish a hot drink.

Yes but in Asterix's day it was different.
Ahh the tea break is all explained in 'Asterix vs the Romans'For a start, there was no tea. Perhaps it was just called "ale break"?

Isn't it a northern thing to refer to lunch as dinner?
Being from Cornwall, I guess you can't get much further south in the UK and dinner was always our evening meal, with tea meaning a cup of tea and perhaps a biscuit.
BUT, weirdly, at school we did call the catering staff "dinner ladies" (and yet, those of us who took our own food carried it in a lunchbox, never a dinnerbox).
No diabetics there, then. They're all dead.Never stay with an Argentinian family. You won't be eating dinner until at least 9pm, more often 10, 11, even midnight.
