Soup or salad?
Dinner: main meal of the day eaten in the evening
Supper: meal eaten in the evening, starts with soup or salad and then a main course. Am I right?
If I am right, then why do people keep using dinner instead of supper? And why does the famous painting called "The Last Supper" is not "The Last Dinner"? I don't think they were having soup or salad.

Oh heavens, Marcelinx, there have been more posts here on the subject of "dinner" versus "supper" than I want to even think about! There is absolutely NO requirement that either dinner or supper have soup, or a salad, or dessert, or anything else. MOST people eat dinner/supper as their main meal, in the evening.
