A lunch, or slight repast between breakfast and dinner; -- originally, a Provincial English word, but introduced into India, and brought back to England in a special sense.
Tiffin is an Indian and British term for a light meal eaten during the day. The word became popular in British India, deriving from tiffing, an old English dialect or slang word for taking a little drink or sip.
Tiffin is a small cake composed of crushed biscuits, most commonly digestive biscuits, sugar, syrup, raisins and cocoa powder, often covered with a layer of melted chocolate.
