Non ! Le goûter c'est jusqu'à 17h30. Adoptez les principes de la chrononutrition et il y aura moins de gros tas en Amérique et en Europe ! And cheese only for breakfast with no sugar at all not only fruit juice.
Could never be me. I fall asleep so early, sometimes before 8PM, and you gotta give your food some time to digest before going to sleep. I'd never make it to supper.
In uk people usually have dinner (or like many say tea) @ 6pm. Some have @ 5pm/17:00 and some @ 7pm/19:00. It's a bit early compared to Portugal. The official hour is 8pm/20:00, with the news coming on tv. Some have it earlier, like 7pm and others later 9pm.
Merenda or tea (chá) usually refers to a quicker meal, like a eating a snack in between meals or whenever you're hungry. Or going out for a coffee (usually just a drink, or drink & eat somethjng quick), or going out for a coffee after your meal
Sweden (Scandinavia really) is 7 or 8 am breakfast : no pastry or cooked meats on a weekday (coffee and yoghurt w cereal OR maybe cottage cheese and avo, toast OR eggs, u choose one. ) 11.00 Fika (coffeebreak with a coffee + bun or pastry, or a chocolate ) 1.00 pm lunch, a full cooked meal, no alcohol. 3.30 or 4 pm Fika coffee with a sweet nibble or a small healthy snack. 6pm Afterwork drink (mainly a beer) if you're doing that, or a gym session, maybe none of it if you have young kids. 6.30 or 7 pm dinner. Dessert is not a regular weekday thing. Small kids get snacks of fruit, nuts, crackers a few times a day, as they cant regulate sugar/energy levels. Sweets for small kids are for saturdays only. Teenagers will often have a decent sandwich (no fake cheese /nutella /toast and jam) after school. Or go for a Fika (drink coffee from age 14, some drink tea) Swedes often don't drink alcohol on a regular weekday with dinner. . Besides the Fika, things aren't eaten with bare hands, not even pizza, and only Americans eat with cutlery like they do, on the planet (like a very young child, please stop it). We don't have snack drawers with chips/crisps, twinkies or candybars, cookies, and don't have french fries or deep fried foods daily. I'm more continental. Never ever dinner before 8pm. Always includes fresh vegetables or a sallad, and I like a glass of wine. I often skip either breakfast or lunch (not coffee though) and drink alot of espresso, like Italians, quick. I can't do pastry daily, no way. A small piece of very dark chocolate (75 % cocoa) is great though. I'm a night person and will gladly have a short afternoon nap or sleep late, if given the opportunity. When in Thailand or Indonesia, eating 7 very small intensely flavored plates a day of mostly fresh cooked vegetables and fruit makes complete sense. It's the tropics. Also Spanish eating and socializing makes sense if you do take siesta. I will gladly eat like the French or Italians and Spanish but not everyday, too much food, it's too expensive in Scandinavia, or too much work at home. I also dont stick two fingers in my throat to stay skinny. (I've seen some of that in continental Europe reg women).
France is so sophisticated that the European French are going extinct due to immigration, should be more worried about that than upside down baguettes!
As an Indian, when we have a guest, we never let them feel hungry and keep feeding them to the point they are full. Feeding our own/guests is an expression of love & respect in India. Even if we have very little or cannot afford much, we share what is available or we take them to nearby temples where we get free delicious food multiple times during the day (Prasad).
I won't be putting my food on a table. I don't care about this rule. I've seen birds flying through (sidewalk cafe) restaurant interiors and land on tables. No linens were changed. People sneeze and get up and leave…they place dirty cell phones, hands, bags that have touched metro seats (and the GROUND) anywhere as they're dining and getting up to leave. I don't find it hygienic seeing silverware and/or bread sitting out in the open on a table. I want silverware wrapped in a clean napkin and bread in a bread basket or on my plate. I hope they'll overlook this faux pas from me.
I live in America but we have dinner around 8 or 9 (I’m Brazilian), my friend told me she had to get off call for dinner and it was 5pm, and I was like, “do you mean evening tea and biscuits or smth?”
I love goin to places like these when they say '' don't break spagethi , drink wine with food , eat like this not like that drink this not that '' and doing the exact contrary to what they told me .

Jokes on you , i eat my dinner at 10:00 pm
I'm not moving to France.
I'll eat my food my way at a time that i decide.
Food is food. Eat when you are hungry 😋😋😋
8PM? Mange bien, mofrackies, because I'm going to bed in an hour.
Ah non, I will lose too much weight waiting for food in France 😂😢
Spaniards: dinner at 8pm?!?! Are you mad?!
Now I understand why there are so many street protests! The French are an angry people 😅
I love to eat on 'french time' because it stops you snacking late before bed!
Eating dinner so late is a fast way to get fat… i don’t eat after 3pm
So I'll make sure to let everyone know I'm foreign, so the rules don't apply to me 💁🏻♂️
Americans eat in the most inefficient way and yet they manage to stuff it in even with being fork shifters.

Sadly, I ate dinner at Domino's Pizza one night in Paris because I didn't know everything shuts down on Sunday.

goûter is from 4pm to 6pm, who is crazy enough to say it stops at 4:30? (I'm French and have always done so)
Dinner? Or maybe supper?
Lol I'm gonna die there i have snacks anytime…..i sometimes eat chips even instantly after lunch or dinner……
How do you get anything done?
Well, you must have found a way, anyway, luckily in my country there are almost no rules for food… or unluckily???
normally chips are eaten with food
but seriously, who eats dinner at five??? 😂
"There's more where that came from" was hilarious. It was the highlight for me
So then don't come to France!
Cheese is it's own course is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
Just wake up later. Problem solved
Omg, I eat when I’m HUNGRY.
I will eat whatever I want, whenever I want.
I don't think there is a set time table for food in Germany. For my family:
6:00 – 7:00 breakfast
12:00 – 13:00 dinner
17:00 – 18:00 supper
There's more where that came from, hah

one time i ate pasta for gouter and it was scandelous
food rules are dumb i just eat when i want
What if someone was diabetic or hypoglycemic and had to eat?
Do Americans know that they'll survive if they're a little hungry for a few hours
Who eats dinner at 5/5:30 pm, seriously crazyyy , no joke😂😂😂😂
also the french won't get up for 2 hours when they sit down for dinner, they take their time.
This makes me irrationally angry at this character.
