"Full Moon" Pumpkin Cookies (Biscuits) with Cream Cheese Icing and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, to honor the Wolf Moon on 11-11-11. |
In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth Realms elevenses is a snack that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in the morning. It is generally less savory than brunch, and might consist of some cake or biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea.. The name refers to the time of day that it is taken: around 11 am. (source)
wait, so Tolkien didn't make that up for Lord of the Rings?
ReplyDeleteI can vouch that elevensies is most definitely an important time in the day, in the UK. Perish the thought of missing it!
