TIL In the West the largest meal of the day has historically been eaten at midday. It was not until Napoleon's empire there was the "abominable habit of dining as late as seven in the evening" as British travelers reported. The British adopted later dinners by 1850 from changes in work schedules.

Seems our ancestors would eat a fat lunch, go to bed at 8, then wake up at 3am to fuck. Kind of like elderly people, but with teenage libidos.
