Meal
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
A meal is a group of courses eaten by human beings and in some cases animals, especially pets such as cats and dogs. Meals have different names by time they are taken or by their styles.
Nowadays most people in the world have three meals a day: breakfast in the morning, lunch around the noon, supper or dinner. Because dinner meant originally the main meal in a day, it didn't mean a meal which people took at the evening. One can have a dinner at the noon. But today many people work in daytime, and have no enough time to take a dinner, that is the reason people take seldom dinner at the noon.
Meals are different by countries. Usually meals are made up from two dishes; the main course and the pudding, desert or sweet. In some cases, a starter is also involved.
