I Danmark har vi morgenmad, der spises om morgenen. Og så er der brunch, som nogle spiser om formiddagen. Derefter en gang middagsmad, der er varm mad, eller .. (oh, I just realized that this thread is written in English, sorry)

In Denmark the eating occasions are labeled as follows:

in the morning: morgenmad
before noon: brunch
noon: middagsmad (hot) or frokost (not hot)
late afternoon: aftensmad (sometimes called middagsmad if it is hot)
late evening/night: natmad
And snacks in between the meals: "mellemmåltider"

6 minutes about "dyrlægens natmad" here (dyrlæge: veterinarian)

Norwegian names of the meals:

frokost or morgenmat - breakfast

formiddagsmat or lønsj - lunch

middag - dinner

kveldsmat - supper

nattmat - a meal during the night

niste or nistemat - food to take with you and eat on journeys

By the way: The word "nattmat" has a rather high frequency.




I have not heard morgenmat used ever, and formiddagsmat not since I was a little girl (and even then only by a woman who was born around 1900, and would use lunch 9 times out of 10).

Nattmat is something I would not hear used more than once every second year or so. Typically if you have a party that reaches into the early hours of the morning, and you serve the main meal around 8, and a hot soup at 2 o'clock in the morning.

With the food prices in Norway in mind I find it totally natural that you haven't heard the names of half the meals since time immemorial - I also have to stop eating when I'm on holiday in Norway. But given the liquour prices up there I don't understand how you can have parties without taking up a mortgage in your house.
