main meal

It’s being served right in the main meal and you cannot avoid it.

The trend, with over 2.67 billion views, shows women on TikTok enjoying light snacks as a traditional main meal, which prompted the men of TikTok to reveal their eating habits known as "boy dinner".

Simple bites you can put out while the main meal is being prepared.

Jovana Durovic, the Serbia-born editor of the coffee enthusiast site Home Grounds, observes, "In my country, lunch is the main meal of the day, while dinner is a much lighter affair. I was really astounded when I moved away to study and realized that not everyone has the same eating habits. I was shocked to see my peers eating at their desks, or only eating a small amount to sustain them throughout the day. After a while, I found that my own behavior had shifted to accommodate this."

Americans have always viewed dumplings as an appetizer and not as a main meal.
