He wrote: ‘I will get hate for this but it must be said — 7.30 is such a classic dinner time.
‘6.30 too early gives “I have another thing after this.” 8.30 too late, gives “can say I have early morning obligation” if I’m not having fun. 7.30 is prime dinner real estate. love a 7:30.’

One person said: ‘We are of East Indian origin. We have dinner at 10pm lol!’
Another wrote: ‘Living in a country where our ideal dinner time is 9pm, I always wonder what you guys do after dinner before going to sleep. Don’t you get hungry at 10 or 11pm’.
