muntiden

Muntiden is a Swedish term referring to the midday meal, typically eaten between lunch and dinner. It is a light meal or snack, often consumed around 2 or 3 PM. Muntiden serves as a way to bridge the gap between the main midday meal and the evening meal, preventing excessive hunger. Common items consumed during muntiden include pastries, cakes, fruit, yogurt, or a small sandwich. It is a less formal meal than lunch or dinner and is often enjoyed with coffee or tea. The practice of muntiden is common in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, reflecting a cultural approach to sustained energy throughout the day. While not a formal meal, it plays a role in daily eating habits and social customs. The specific contents of a muntiden can vary greatly depending on individual preference and availability.
