Lunch isn't typically the big meal of the day, unless you're doing a
business lunch.

The folks I know, and my family (Belgium, but close enough) would eat cold
cuts and cheeses, with bread.  Perhaps something green.  Sometimes an omelette.

Yes, but not significantly

>Would this differ from such a meal in period France?

That I fear, I can't talk about...  I recognize my own ignorance of period
food! :-)  Some day, that's gonna change :-)
