After-supper

  • 01.036 which he had baked that afternoon for his after-supper morsel.

It must take a great deal of planning to work in all of one’s Hobbit meals.  If supper is some time after 8PM, I imagine that after-supper morsel would be what I call a bedtime snack.

Update 2017.09.05 – I was delightfully mistaken: after-supper is a proper name for a time of day, and OED says archaic.  I am reminded of another very important time of day.

“after-supper, n. and adj.” OED Online. Oxford University Press, June 2017. Web. 5 September 2017.
