Supper is derived from the Old French word “souper,” meaning “to eat an evening meal.” It traditionally refers to a meal eaten in the late evening or before going to bed. In the culinary world, supper is often considered a lighter meal compared to dinner. It can consist of a variety of dishes, including soups, sandwiches, salads, or smaller portions of main courses. It provides nourishment without being heavy on the stomach before sleep. The term “supper” is commonly used in European and British English and may vary in meaning across different cultures and regions.
