Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Tiffin?

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

All of us are used to breakfast, lunch, dinner or as some say it "supper".  So what exactly is a tiffin?

Tiffin has its origins in India at the time of the British colonial rule.  These days it has taken on multiple meanings. It refers to a light snack in between the traditional lunch and dinner times.  It also refers to a meal, usually lunch, that is packed or boxed and carried to work or shipped to someone.  The container that holds the "tiffin" is called a "tiffin carrier".

If you are hungry in between meals, reach out for a tiffin.

Cheers!!

Whenever I hear and have read the word "tiffin", happytiffin is always the first thing that entered in my mind. I truly like its idea of earth-friendly quote to describe its product. While aiming at reduction of plastic use. =)
