Lunch
In
the modern usage the term refers to a midday meal of any size.
During
the eighteenth century what was originally called
"dinner"— a word still sometimes used to mean a noontime
meal in the British Isles, and in parts of the United States, Canada
and Australia— was moved by stages later in the day and came in the
course of the nineteenth century to be eaten at night, replacing the
light meal called supper, which was delayed by the upper class to
midnight.
In
the United States, Thanksgiving dinner (and Christmas dinner) are
still eaten at the old hours, usually between two and four in the
afternoon.
Origin
of the term
The
abbreviation lunch, in use from 1823, is taken form the more
formal "luncheon" , which the OED (Oxford English
Dictionary) reports from 1580, as a word for a meal that was
inserted between more substantial meals.
In
medieval England, there are references to nuncheon, a non
hench according to OED, a noon draught— of ale, with
bread— an extra meal between midday dinner and supper, especially
during the long hours of hard labour during haying or early
harvesting. In London, by the 1730s and 40s, the upper class were
rising later and dining at three or four in the afternoon, and by 1770
their dinner hour in London was four or five (McMillan). A formal
evening meal, artificially lit by candles, sometimes with
entertainment, was a "supper party" as late as Regency
times.
In
the 19th century, male artisans went home for a brief dinner, where
their wives fed them, but as the workplace was removed farther from
the home, working men took to providing themselves with something
portable to eat at a break in the schedule during the middle of the
day. In parts of India a light, portable lunch is known as tiffin.
Ladies
whose husbands would eat at the club would be free to leave the house
and have lunch with one another, though not in restaurants until the
twentieth century. In the 1945 edition of Etiquette, Emily Post
still referred to luncheon as "generally given by and for women,
but it is not unusual, especially in summer places or in town on
Saturday or Sunday, to include an equal number of men"— hence
the mildly disparaging phrase, "the ladies who lunch." Lunch
was a ladies' light meal; when the Prince of Wales stopped to eat a
dainty luncheon with lady friends, he was laughed at for this
effeminacy (McMillan). Afternoon tea supplemented this luncheon at
four o'clock, from the 1840s (McMillan).
Mrs
Beeton's Book of Household Management had much less to explain
about luncheon than about dinners or ball suppers:
-
The
remains of cold joints, nicely garnished, a few sweets, or a
little hashed meat, poultry or game, are the usual articles placed
on the table for luncheon, with bread and cheese, biscuits,
butter, &c. If a substantial meal is desired, rump-steaks or
mutton chops may he 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. —Mrs
Beeton's Book of Household Management
