I've not decided what supper will be, but I was a bit
peckish so decided on one of the Anjou pears I bought
Friday at the grocery store.  To go along with this
piece of fruit I also opened the container of blue
cheese crumbles purchased in the same trip.  Sooooo
good together and this little snack should tide me
over for a couple of hours until I decide what supper
will be.

You could quit while you're ahead and have the pears and cheese *be*
supper.

1.  It was too early call that supper.
2.  It was not filling enough to carry me through
    the evening and until Sunday breakfast.
3.  Next time I'll eat three cans of green shavings.

Dinner/supper is that a north/south thing, a socio-economic thing, a
religious denomination thing or an age thing?

 Yes.
 I generally use "dinner" for a complex meal and "supper" for a
simple one.  If I think of it.
 Up here in Damnyankeeland, they're used pretty much interchangeably
and everybody adjusts accordingly.
 Although I suspect you've neglected the use of "dinner" for the
midday meal, which is now (AFAIK) passing out of use as old farmers
die off.  Although those of us older than 60 might use "dinner"
for a Sunday or holiday meal served at around 2 pm.
 

Ah yes, Thanksgiving "dinner" was usually served around 2pm when I was growing up.  Then again, my parents didn't use the word "supper" to describe any meal.
