I want to know why people are celebrating Second Breakfast at 11. Isn't that Elevenses? Or is Elevenses more like a rough approximation? If so, wouldn't that push back luncheon, tea, dinner and supper?
I guess because the UK event was geared primarily towards introducing schoolchildren to The Hobbit, 11am was simply the best time of day for it. Given that "elevensies" is already a thing here and yet "second breakfast" is a Hobbit/Tolkien thing the two were conflated for convenience (and marketing purposes).

ReplyDeleteSure, I've read that but it doesn't answer my question.
ReplyDeleteNo Yak is right. Second Breakfast should be 9:00-9:30am. It's:
ReplyDeleteBreakfast 7am
2nd breakfast 9am
Elevensies 11 am
Lunch 1pm
Tea 4pm
Dinner 6-7pm
Supper 9-10pm
Midnight Snack 12am
