evening meal

What time do you eat your evening meal? Do you eat with family, others or alone?

When I was younger, I can remember my mother always setting the table with plates, silverware, cups, glasses and napkins, for dinner. She said that her mother-in-law told her to do this for my father...

What do you call your evening meal?

Do you call it supper or dinner? What exactly is the difference? Did you learn this from parents?
