What's your evening/late afternoon meal called?

[kerem gokmen]

The data does not exist to answer your question. That's why it's called 'prehistoric'.

However, historically people lived by the sun. They got up roughly when it became light and went to bed roughly when it went dark. Most people could only afford rushlights, which stank like fuck, so there was no incentive for ordinary people to sit up late. If you were dead posh you could afford oil lights - the Romans had those - or wax candles.

thanks,
sure history is considered to start with written stuff, but i thought maybe there were some comments according to prehistoric human remains. cheers.
ps: i wonder about the nutrition habits effect on evolution.

The fact you’ve replied to tell a person you don’t know, on the internet, you’re not a dick in relation to this trivial matter, is pretty convincing evidence you are.

;)

I appreciate the humour.

It’s lunch in the south and dinner in the north of England. Although I once worked with a posh git who called his evening meal “supper”.

One thing that is likely is that pre-historic people probably didn’t eat in the dark. It would have been bad enough dodging the wolves and bears during the day, you wouldn’t want to be enticing them into your area with the smell of grilled mammoth steak when you can’t see them.

Yeh, I had that at first, confusion and trying to correct me, pfft. Now everyone around me just accepts I call it tea. Even him indoors (american) has given in. He comes in and asks "what's for tea" and "do we have puddin"

Over the years I’ve introduced er indoors to all kinds of English foods, cauliflower cheese, meat pies, sausage rolls, custard, curry (yes I know)
