Mid-morning snack is a term used to describe a light snack taken around 11am. It is usually something small and easy to prepare, such as a piece of fruit or a biscuit. The term 'elevenses' is another name for mid-morning snack, which is derived from the Old English phrase 'tweon-sibbe', meaning 'two meals'. This term is often used in British English, but can also be found in other parts of the world.
