Talk:Elevenses

message: In Cornwall (the remote south-west corner of the British Isles) the mid morning snack break was referred to as "Crib"
I think that hobbits eat elevenses AND second breakfast, but don't have the books on hand to check. Anyone else?
In movie #1, Pippin says to Aragorn (as they set out traveling with him), "What about second breakfast? Elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?". I don't know about the books, though.65.94.23.134 22:32, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitely remember it that way from the books and have changed the article to reflect this. --Laura Scudder | Talk 20:29, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: This article says that choice of foods consumed at elevenses might vary from cakes, pastries or lamingtons or biscuits to "just coffee", but coffee is not a food, it is a drink. Also, the article could make it clearer in the opening section that in the United Kingdom, people might just have a cup of tea or coffee for elevenses (the old tradition has been to have coffee for a morning drink, and tea at around four o'clock in the afternoon for a snack known as "afternoon tea").

message: The section on afternoon tea in the article Tea_(meal) has the name of the inventor of afternoon tea  -  Anna_Russell,_Duchess_of_Bedford. In the same way, if any one knows who invented elevenses, this could go in this article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 11:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't know anything about mornos, but IMHO the coincidence of the time of day and the nature of the meal would be enough to demonstrate that 'mornos' is 'elevenses' under a different name. Cf the Swedish and Spanish equivalents, which are not actually called 'elevenses'. ('Coffee break' by contrast could be at any time of day.) Ben Finn (talk) 08:58, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

message: In East Frisia in the north west of Germany, people call it “Elführtje” and they typically drink a strong tea, as explained in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwischenmahlzeit#Ostfriesland. --194.19.86.146 (talk) 13:39, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

message: This article says that in the United Kingdom, tea or coffee may be consumed for elevenses, often with a 
few biscuits. It says that sometimes, toast or chocolate bars may be consumed instead. It could add that
sometimes crisps may be consumed. I had some crisps with a cup of coffee this morning (Wednesday 12 May 2021). Since this snack was nearer to 10: 30 a.m., I suppose it was my half past tenses! Rollo August (talk) 14:13, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

message: "halb zehn" is not 10:30 but 9:30. Also, the Knoppers slogan is not really colloquial. It should not be included. 2001:9E8:97B:A800:E52E:8917:2D00:5E75 (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
