I think your 11 PM meal almost qualifies for our "midnight snack"
It certainly left me with a penchant for midnight snacking, whatever it
was called. The couple who introduced me to the habit lived in Dorset,
but originally hailed from East London. I think they used to ask me
whether I would join them for 'a cup of Bournvita'. The oatmeal biscuits
and ham and onion pate (made from a ham joint when it became a little
stale) was an unexpected and delicious surprise.
Perhaps it was a vestigial remains of 'supper', as their last proper meal
served about 6pm in the evening was called 'tea'?
