blinner

the term is a portmanteau of breakfast, lunch and dinner. it is a long, leisurely and often unplanned breakfast with friends that eventually turns into lunch and continues through dinner. although blinners are uncommon in the united states, they are more widely enjoyed in less workaholic societies.

blinner’s true essence is about community building over a long and lingering meal. however, some have come to use it in a way that represents isolation, scarcity and the fast paced life in the united states where individuals are too busy or unable to afford eating three meals a day and hence are confined to a blinner.
