Meals Lunch is a meal that is taken at noon or in the early afternoon. The term is short for "''luncheon''" (see below). Lunch is a newer word for what was once invariably called "dinner," a word nowadays only sometimes used to mean a noontime meal in the British Isles, and in parts of the United States, Canada and Australia. In parts of India a light lunch is known as tiffin.In the nineteenth century, male artisans went home for dinner, where their wives fed them; ladies whose husbands would eat at the club would be free to leave the house and have lunch with one another in restaurants - hence the disparaging phrase, "the ladies who lunch." Lunch food varies. In some places, one eats similar things both at lunch and at supper - a hot meal, sometimes with more than one course. In other places, lunch is the main meal of the day, supper being a smaller cold meal. Many people eat lunch while at employmentwork or school. Employers and schools usually provide a lunch break in the middle of the day, lasting as much as an hour. Some workplaces and schools provide cafeteriacafeterias where one can get a hot meal (in British schools female staff who serve lunch are often known as "dinner ladies", but never "lunch ladies"). In some work locations one can easily go out to eat at a nearby restaurant. Where these conveniences are not available it may be impractical to make lunch the main meal of the day. In these cases relatively simple foods might be packed in a container, such as a bag or a lunchbox, and taken to work or school. The quintessential bag lunch in North America of the past has consisted of a sandwich and often a whole fruit and either cookiecookies or a candy bar. But here, the near-universal spread of the microwave oven to the workplace since the 1980s has changed the nature of workers' lunches considerably. Leftovers from home-cooked meals, frozen foods, and a huge variety of prepared foods needing only reheating are at least as common as the sandwich lunch.In addition to its primary purpose, lunch can function as a form of entertainment, especially on weekends; a particularly fancy or formal lunch can be called a luncheon. Such lunches can be served at a restaurant, as a buffet or potluck, or as a sit-down feast. These events are very similar to festive suppers.Lunch, both simple and fancy, often includes dessert.Many nutritionists suggest that it is more appropriate to eat a large meal at lunch than it is to do so at supper, just prior to going to sleep, when the energy from the meal will not be properly used. An example of this style of meal can be found in the GermanyGerman and ScandinaviaScandinavian diet, whose lunch mostly is large and cooked (as opposed to, say, a sandwich).In a cricket match that lasts a full day or longer, there is a luncheon interval in each day's play, usually taken between 12:30pm and 1:30pm.Continental French languageFrench for "lunch" is ''déjeuner'', Quebecois French is ''dîner''; in Spanish languageSpanish it is ''almuerzo'' (or ''comida'', which also means "food"). The Anglicism ''lunch'' means an invitational light meal usually eaten while standing and not necessarily around noon. It is offered for example in vernissages; in Portuguese languagePortuguese it is ''almoço'', in Italian languageItalian it is ''pranzo'', in German languageGerman it is ''Mittagessen'', in Swedish languageSwedish it is ''lunch'', in Danish languageDanish it is ''frokost'', in Esperanto it is ''tagmanĝo'' (or ''lunĉo'') and in Greek languageGreek it is !''γεύμ^ 5;''?
