What is "dinner"?
Dinner typically refers to the main meal of the day, traditionally eaten in the evening or late afternoon. The exact timing of dinner can vary depending on cultural norms and personal schedules. It often consists of a substantial spread of dishes, including a protein source, such as meat, fish, or tofu, starches, like rice, potatoes, or pasta, vegetables, and sometimes soup or salad. Dessert may follow the main course, featuring sweets like cakes, pies, or fruit. Dinner provides an opportunity for individuals and families to come together, share a meal, and unwind after a busy day.
