On what basis? Do you mean they didn't eat a meal in the middle of the
day? Or that the meal wasn't called "lunch"? Or do you mean it wasn't
a light meal eaten on the go? I definitely think I've got evidence of
the later being done in period such as meals that farmers ate in the
fields or quickly went back home for.

But not all modern pretzels are hard pretzels, either.

I seem to remember seeing some raw oranges or orange slices on a
table in a late-period painting and I think it was an eating table,
such as in a tavern rather than a kitchen table. But I guess I'll
have to go look to confirm this.

Oh? Like "hard" in the line above? :-)
