My mum always used to say breakfast, dinner and tea. I think that was a bit of a carry over from her snobbish strict catholic upbringing. Dinner for us was always a sandwich, usually with some sort of cold meat etc. Tea was always meat and three veges when we were growing up. Then mum started experimenting with all sorts of foods. Pretty soon after that my parents divorced. Not sure if there's a correlation or not, but it's possible.
With my kids and spouse now we just say breakfast, lunch and dinner/tea, depending on what happens to come out of my mouth as I'm yelling down the yard for them to come in.
My lunch is usually something fruity these days, so it just gets dropped into my bag and off I go. b/f usually gets leftovers which he heats up in microwave at work, so that's in a tupperware container or an old take-away container. The kids have those plastic/material insulated lunch boxes in which they usually take fruit, drink, muselie bar and a sandwich or something left over from dinner.
