Tea = anything you have has your evening meal.
Breakfast
Dinner
Tea
Anything in between is just called whatever you eat. It’s not a “snack” unless you’re a toddler. If you eat a packet of crisps at half past three in the afternoon, you have a “pack o crisps.” Not a snack.
I suppose you can call anything you eat within an hour before going to bed, “supper,” but again it’s for kids really. You’re just devouring your body weight in Skittles with a cup of tea, it doesn’t need to be called supper as if to justify your actions.
