In Spanish, it’s called Merienda
If you didn’t get enough to eat at lunch, agony.
It doesn’t have a name related to meals in the U.S. In England. it is tea time.
Linner, Dunch, Lupper, or Sunch.
@Blondesjon since when? i call that the time between breakfast and mid-morning “snack”.
@marinelife I think, in the US, Happy Hour would be acceptable . . . don’t you think.
for the senior set, Early-Bird or Blue Plate Specials
As others have said: Tea time (in my case, espresso), Merienda, or Nosh as the case and culture may be.
I call it Afternoon Tea, even if no tea is involved. I usually just have a small meal.
I say afternoon. I usually have some kind of a small snack around 3, which I call my “afternoon snack”. Usually it’s even healthy! It’s amazing how fast bananas and apples disappear in our house. If you’re doing something elegant or fancy, and want a “technical” name for it, I would still call it brunch. That’s what we always have on Christmas and Thanksgiving (I mean the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals are always called brunch). I don’t know. I vote we make it officially called Lupper or Sunch or Dunch or Dupper. Take your pick.
The afternoon. Eating during that period of time would be a late lunch, early dinner or a snack.
@eponymoushipster I was totally going to say that. If I can ever get away with a nap during that time, I take advantage.
But I suppose most people call it afternoon.
@ubersiren seriously, the best naps are at like 2:30–3pm.
I call it nap time…the owner of my company calls it work…I don’t like him specifically for that reason.
Children call it snack time.
Happy Hour!!!
cheers! ;-)
The long stretch between being hungry and anticipation of good, wholesome microwave food. * smiles * or when I am at my girls house she really knows how to make a good meal. Her culinary skills are quite spectacular.
I have no clue ! Hopefully its something good :)
