Yes, but Tolkien invented Second Breakfast. No comparison.

"It is traditional in Bavaria, in Poland, and in Hungary. In Bavaria or Poland, special dishes are made exclusively to be eaten during second breakfast."

IIRC, Czechs (and Slovaks too, perhaps) have something called "svacina" which fits this definition of a second breakfast.

There are other places in the world too that have this custom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffin

In Portugal it's called "bucha".
