This has near about caused divorce in my household. I prefer closer to 7. Wife prefers 5. Compromise is obviously 6. But with kid activities, you almost have to do 5 in order for them to have some energy for whatever they have going on, or brave it and eat later.

When I eat at 5, I'm in the kitchen again at 10 stuffing my face. Constant battle. First world problems to the maximum.

 

[PK Dawg]

5pm

 

[dudehead]

Gotta let those greens cook properly.

Between 5:30 and 7. Typically 6:30.

 

[Car Ramrod.sixpack]

We eat around 6:30 PM. Mostly because we both get home around 5:40 PM and do a few thing around the house then get started on supper.

I can see that most of the later states have a large blue collar or rural population. Growing up in a rural area most kids had chores after school or work around the property that took priority over meal time.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Farmers work later and therefore eat later.

Are we majority agrarian, still? Not a dig, I'm really not sure.

 

[LandArchDawg]

We both work demanding jobs, so we normally eat near 9:00pm. If we ate out every night we may be able to move that up an hour.
The deadline-driven consultant's lifestyle.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Never past 6:00.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I eat 5:30-6. Mainly because of kids and their activities.

 

[Dawghouse]

Prefer 5:30 or 6 but because the kids are busy we eat at 7:30 4 nights a week and around 7 the others. I eat lunch closer to 2 so I'm not starving by dinner.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

We’re pretty consistent. Anywhere between 5:30 and 9

 

[The Peeper]

Wife, soon as she can get home and get something together. Me, no earlier than 8:00 could be 9:00-10:00

 

[mcdawg22]

We’re pretty consistent. Anywhere between 5:30 and 9

^^^This.

 

[GloryDawg]

After my wife cook it.

 

[aTotal360]

4:30pm at the IHOP.

 

[Mobile Bay]

We’re pretty consistent. Anywhere between 5:30 and 9

If I eat dinner.

 

[aTotal360]

I prefer 7:00. I'm pissed off by 7:30. But 6:30 seems too early.

 

[Mjoelner]

When I was kid at home, we would eat between 5:45 and 6:15. Now, as a single adult and getting off work at 3:00, it's anywhere between 3:30 and 6:30.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

I also have to have time to get my inner alcoholic his fix. 2-3 drinks fit in well before 7. Then you eat and go to sleep.

 

[Pars]

We shoot for 6
Kids schedules dictate if it’s earlier or later

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Cracklins' and Chitterlings take a while to cook.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

If you want to go out to eat at any of the popular restaurants in Flowood on a Saturday evening, you'd better be there by 5, by 5:30, there's an hour wait.

When we first moved to Jxn almost 30 years ago, and many of the restaurants were actually in the city (Scrooge's, Bravo, etc), folks wouldn't even go out to eat until 8.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Roughly 6:30-7. I have no desire to eat as soon as I walk in the door.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Did not realize this was state thing, ...EAT, When I want to.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

We’re pretty consistent. Anywhere between 5:30 and 9

That's us. Most of the delay is trying to come up with something our two extremely picky kids will eat and agree to eat on the same night.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I also have to have time to get my inner alcoholic his fix. 2-3 drinks fit in well before 7. Then you eat and go to sleep.

I was with you before that last sentence. I must have shower beers after dinner.

 

[HailStout]

8 to 9. Gymnastics and soccer practices are the devil

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Anywhere from 630 to 730 usually. Usually don't get home until 6 prep usually starts immediately and the dinner by 730. After 830 it's just better to eat a snack and go to bed

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Winter - 6
Spring/Summer/Fall - anywhere from 5:30 to 10

 

[HailStout]

I was with you before that last sentence. I must have shower beers after dinner.

I usually put one in my shower caddy so I can keep drinking while cleaning. Don’t want any time wasted.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Usually around 6:30

 

[GloryDawg]

Cracklins' and Chitterlings take a while to cook.

We cook our cracklin in the winter and put in freezer.

 

[cowbell88]

We try for 8, but most times it’s 9, and sometimes 10.

If we think about putting stuff in croc/ pot in am, we can back up supper time by an hour or so.

We haven’t decided what we having tonight. I’m probably going to go mow yard, and wife is working in her home office. Child is supposedly doing home work and snacking on something now.

Because in mississippi, the good ole baptist boys told the old lady to hold up the cornbread while they hit the jug out by the barn where nobody can see 'em

 

[BulldogBlitz]

First dinner happens around 430.

Dinner is at 7. My store does not close until 6. Since I'm the cook in the house...7 is about as early as I can get.

I find this hard to believe for MS or any other Deep South state to be on average later than 6 PM

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Anyone ever driven by a Cracker Barrel or Longhorn/TX Roadhouse at 4:30 PM most any afternoon?
