[Sca-cooks] brunch?

In Spain, traditionally, nobles went to mass when they awoke at sunrise. They did not break the fast until after mass with a glass of wine and a slice of bread. 
Spanish labourers broke the fast accordingly and later eat what could be called a brunch at about 11 am consisting of bread and lard or cheese in the fields where they were working. 
Nobles had a side board available in the banquet hall with cold cuts, cheese, bread and wine or if traveling, such items were placed in the saddle bags for consumption at will.

Brunch does not have a Spanish translation as far as I know. It comes out as “mid morning break,” which seems be the same as brunch if examined closely.
