Word Connections: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

In this episode of Word Connections, we look at the words we use to identify the principal meals of the day, and how these words have changed over time. Furthermore, we examine why each of the meals was given its particular name. In addition to examining the English words, we also look elsewhere in Western Europe, to discover the fascinating stories for how these meals came to acquire their names in other languages. For many people in the English-speaking world, there are three meals in the day, and these meals are called “breakfast”, “lunch”, and “dinner”. But there are variations on this scheme. For some people, the three meals are breakfast, lunch, and “supper”. For some people whose main meal of the day is at midday, the three meals are called breakfast, dinner, and supper. <a href="https://medium.com/the-philipendium/word-connections-breakfast-lunch-dinner-2e5d06c79bac">Click Here</a>
