Why do people say luncheon?

I hate it when I get an invite that says 'a gala luncheon' and I just think 'tory'

Powerbowl chicken, veg etc - only 333 calories!

Presumably Dux would write lunch'

Davos, the word "Luncheon" was invented because the upper classes thought lunch sounded too common.  That's a fun fact I learned recently.

I don't like using the verb "invite" when you mean "invitation", so we are evens, Davos.

According to my quick Google search, the -eon bit is actually Northern in origin.

That makes sense Eddie, thank you 

So I am right to think anyone that uses it is a Tory

Don't really GAF judy, I speak propa and u don't

Ofc, there's no way the upper classes would want to be considered as part of the Brady Buncheon.

oh that is a shame.  I was at a lunch on Saturday

Oh Judo.  You let us down there.  But more importantly you let yourself down.

JC, I just did the same google search and found that Luncheon is a derivative of the Northern "Lunch" 

When speaking of etymology, my favourite is "smashing" to describe something as good.  It comes from Irish people in London speaking Irish and being misheard.  What they were saying was "is maith e sin" which literally translates to "that is good" and when said quickly sounds like smashing.

oh that reminds me, PP.  I have a packet of silken tofu bought instead of firm and I am not sure what to cook with it - any ideas?

I do like that, Eddie!

I learned that from Melvyn Bragg.

Make ma po tofu? I don't have a recipe though.

Beef enchilada and some salad which included some extra chicken and falafel.

Pret chicken caesar baguette and a chocolate brownie.

Tofu - sillken tofu is good for stir fries/ with noodles.

Luncheon - eggs, sourdough, a cup of tea.

dark rye ryvita with houmous, avocado, tomato and cucumber

strawberries, blueberries, apple and cherries with greek yoghurt

I was doing so well with my left over veggie home made curry with added spinach and a hard boiled egg until Mr M came back from Gails with a giant choc chip cookie for me 🙄
