For lunch she'd get a peanut butter and jelly (grape) sandwich and a cup of coffee. For dinner she'd receive the many vegetables coming in from the garden: Beans, peas, greens, potatoes, brocolli, cauliflower, beets, carrots, turnips, asparagus, garlic, and/or onions for now.

As far as I remember "tea" is dinner, altho' I remember it being served at around 5 pm. Those silly limeys have their big meal at lunch time (or they used to). This would explaine the collapse of British industry ... after a feed of double pudding, chips and peas, with lots of bread and tea, and something sweet and heavy with custard for dessert, no one could work in the afternoon. The workers would lie around scratching and breaking wind, while Japanese industry took over the world
