I don't care what you had for supper

Mine was better.:rockin:


Sauerbraten with potato pancakes:




I haven't had this since I was a kid and my grandma made it. Then about a month ago my Ma gave me a German/Viennese cookbook and this was the first recipe I looked at. The beef has been marinating since Tuesday. Wow. I wonder what the peasants had for supper tonight.......Dee-lish!

That looks wonderful! I love sauerbraten. You must have forgotten to invite me........................but that's ok, I forgive you!

Supper is what you, less informed people, would call dinner. But dinner (otherwise known as lunch) is eaten at noon........

UNLESS it's Sunday.............then dinner is at 2 PM.

That's why fancy restaurants are called "Supper Clubs". Because you have supper there. Which, on the menu, is designated as the "Dinner Menu".

Yep, gotta have time after Church to cook the feast!

This terminology is the result of a whole bunch of people who are stuck indoors for the winter .

Good theory, but incorrect, at least for me. Winter is when I get outside. I'm stuck inside in summertime when it's too friggin' hot to go out. I sit inside with the air conditioner and ***** until around October.

Depends how you define "indoors". If you count my Clam as indoors, then I am fishing indoors in the winter...........

Church? Oh, you must mean football.

Of course where you live dictates the timing, but pre-game or during game it is called appetizers (and of course beer). Post game is Supper/dinner.

Wow, that is definitely better than what I had

So if you guys have dinner at noon, when do you have lunch?

Two sets of games. The 10AM, ending at 1-ish, and the 1PM ending at 4-ish.
Dinner/supper after 4. Breakfast/Lunch merged into cocktails appetizers during the game. It's really quite logical.

I know how we do out out here on the West coast (aka: the correct way), but I meant when do those snooty east coasters have lunch? Or are they too good for lunch? Bastards.

I grew up on the East coast. There is a variation that is actually beneficial. Lunch is at noon, which actually lays a good protein base down allowing greater alcohol consumption during the football games. Cocktails/appetizers during the game. Dinner/Supper is after 7PM.

Well, I brew the beer with the agreement that she cooks the food. It works out quite nicely We get beer and we get food

By the way....Great job Bernie

Everytime I go out west during football season I'm reminded at the awesomeness of living in that time zone. On the east coast the first game doesn't start until 1PM...and I haven't watched a Sunday night or Monday night game in years because they're on too late.

Regarding supper: I had a NY Strip and roasted asparagus...so I wasn't that far behind imo.

I always assumed the Germans ate so much sour/vinegary stuff because in centuries past they prob had a lot of sour/vinegary beer around that they needed to get rid of. I've just never developed a taste for it though.

No no no, you have it all wrong. You have lunch just before kickoff of the 1 oclock game. Then appetizers for the 4pm game then between the end of that game and the 8pm game you order deliver for dinner.

You goofballs! You don't have lunch on Sunday. Period.

You have brunch, then dinner at 2 PM. Popcorn during the night game. I can't believe I have to tell you guys everything!

Man that looks good!

Nice.

I'll see your Sauerbraten with potato pancakes

and Raise you

Home cooked steak and kidney stew with a herb dumpling crust made with AG stout wort and winter vegatables.

8 pm is too late? What are you, 200 years old?

I'm not gonna start watching a game if I can't stay up for the ending. I have to get up early and just decided years ago that I'm not even tuning in for the pre-game or beginning if I can't watch the ending.

Hobbits have it right: breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper.

Can we get this conversation back on track. It doesn't matter what you call it, I want to know how to make it! Recipie please, Bernie.

Bernie, you've got to post the recipe. I want to compare it with mine(ok, actually my grandmother's, but, since I got her recipes when she passed, it's mine now!)

Um..I don't think anything you folks do on the west coast is the right way. You are the countrie's biggest problem

We say Dinner and Supper Interchangeably here. But lunch is at noon, breakfast is when you wake up. We never called post church food lunch or brunch. We called it eating at grandma's.
