What did children eat for dinner in Victorian times?

Answer 1

Children would have eaten very simple basic things such as bread, dry biscuits and some children were very poor so maybe nothing! The slightly wealthier ones would have some sort of protein or fruit and vegetables.

Answer 2

Breakfast (8 am): They had thick cut bread and butter, as much as can be eaten in half an hour, half a pint of new milk and hot water.

Dinner (1 pm). They had meat, bread, vegetables, and half a pint of beer. Puddings four days a week.

Tea (6pm) They had thick cut bread and butter, half a pint of new milk and hot water.

Supper (.30 pm) for Prefects and Captains. Bread and cheese and beer.

P.S. The pudding served at dinner would probably be very filling, jam, Roly poly, spotted dick (a sponge pudding filled with dried fruit) bread and butter pudding, and rice pudding, were all popular in the Victorian times.

Answer 3

if they could afford it then soup and bread but you could get free dinner that was a piece of bread and a soup made by boiling bones.
