Lunch, Lunch

If a substantial meal is desired, rump-steaks or mutton chops may be served, as also veal cutlets, kidneys, or any dish of that kind. In families where there is a nursery, the mistress of the house often partakes of the meal with the children, and makes it her luncheon. In the summer, a few dishes of fresh fruit should be added to the luncheon, or, instead of this, a compote of fruit or fruit tart, or pudding.

Generally there will be a cap on the amount the buyer should spend on the lunch.

A common greeting during lunch-time in Germany is Mahlzeit , meaning meal-time.

The Anglicism lunch means an invitational light meal usually eaten while standing and not necessarily around noon. It is offered for example in vernissages.

The word lunch is translated as priepieiai (meaning pre-dinner) and would be brunch.
