What TIME do you usually eat DINNER?

[AviatorTom]

When you eat dinner might say something about your personality or political beliefs.

Studies in the US have shown...

Pennsylvanians eat dinner the earliest (5:37pm), followed by Maine, Vermont, Wyoming, North Dakota, and New Hampshire.
Washington, DC, residents eat the latest dinner (7:10pm), preceded by Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

Does this mean anything? Well, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont are the oldest states in the country for average age of its population. So, Oldest eats earliest?

When do you eat dinner? Do you think it means anything?

[SnowedIn]

This makes so much sense, particularly the part about DC.

I start cooking at 6 and we eat anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes later.

I grew up and live in North Dakota, and eat dinner after 7:30 most days, but growing up dinner was almost always promptly at 6:00

[loves2learn]

5 or 6 o’clock these days. When I was growing up? Dad would make dinner when he made it. Sometimes 10:00.

[Amy10223]

Depending on when I had my first meal. If it was at 12:00 or 1:00, then I eat dinner about 5:00 or 6:00.

[AviatorTom]

Amy, you are an interesting lady. I've never heard anyone tell me that they eat a meal based on the time of the previous meal. Is that a Midwest thing?

[comekitty]

During the summer, we eat pretty early - between 4pm and 4:30

During the rest of. the year, I try to have it ready between 5pm and 5:30 🙂

[jennifer_bloom]

When I'm not on vacation, it's almost always 5. That might seem early but there are days where I need to eat even earlier cause I get pain sometimes if I'm hungry.

[OfMiceandMen]

Usually between 6 and 7:30 PM. By the time I get home, grill something and settle down on the dock by the bay.

[Anonymous]

9 or 10pm 80% of the time. It's really the only time I can eat, because that's when my baby is asleep and I can actually cook something without her crying or wanting to be held.
