<< In the middle ages, "luncheon" was the word for liquid lunches. It was a
combination of the words "noon scheken", or noon drinking. In those days,
a large chunk of bread was called lunch. So if you ate bread with your
munchion, you had what we still today call a luncheon.

Interesting.......
Where did the term 'nooner' come from?
