Answer 1

linner

Answer 2

Lupper

Answer 3

You mean like brunch? I have always wondered this actually, I seem to do it a lot! The obvious terms would be linner or dunch but I think linner is the more popular one.. There's also supper, but that's rubbish. Suppers not a heavy meal. So, yeah, I'd go for linner. :)

Answer 4

supper

Answer 5

Linner sounds good to me.

Answer 6

linner is a winner  ; )

Answer 7

luxury...hopefully served with plenty of good red wine and some chilled friends

Answer 8

A lot of people in England eat their main evening meal between 5pm and 6pm and refer to that meal as tea.

Personally a meal like the one you are describing I call a late lunch or an early dinner.  There is no specific word for it, so you can called it pretty much whatever you like.

Though I must say...linner does sound pretty cool :)

Answer 9

a VERY busy lunch hour
