 Lavish dinner banquets and late-night "reresopers" (from Occitan "rèire-sopar", "late supper") with considerable amounts of alcoholic beverage were considered immoral.The latter were especially associated with gambling, crude language, drunkenness, and lewd behavior.Minor meals and snacks were common (although also disliked by the church), and working men commonly received an allowance from their employers in order to buy "nuncheons", small morsels to be eaten during breaks.
