This thread is like a British language lesson - bait, piece and snap are all completely new to me in these contexts. It's just lunch.
I tend not to eat lunch, anyway (or breakfast, except a piece of fruit if I remember). Can't eat sandwiches, pasties etc, and have no fridge for salads, so that leaves me with a bag of crisps if I'm lucky.

I'm sorry, the mid-day meal is dinner.
Strictly speakin it is dinner. That is why when you were at school you had dinner nannies at dinner time. Not lunch nannies. It is only called 'lunch' when you have a packed lunch. Otherwise it is dinner.

It's no aye a sandwich. A body micht ask "Whit dae ye hae fer yer piece?" and be telt "A bridie".
At school the dominie aye hid an aipple fer a play piece. I'd hae a packet o Kung Fooeys.

Yes!
But did you have lunch ladies?
See post above. Packed dinner sounds wrong - like it should be hot food melting away the plastic lunchbox.
It is odd how some people from other parts of the country seem to be unable to accept that Southerners have their own dialects too.

Yes, lunch served by dinner ladies? Not very consistent.
Which part of the South are you from?
scifisam
feck! arse! girls! drink!
Nope, it's not consistent, but that's still the way we said it. Doesn't mean we suddenly all have to start speaking Northern.
I'm from Essex originally, though it's been years since I went back to my hometown.

I'm sorry if that was offensive; I was just trying to understand your culture. 
A culture that is oft-maligned.
Just think: my only knowledge of Essex is Essex girl jokes!

Essex is north of London and you get there from Kent by going through a tunnel(and firstly through London)(memories are 27yrs old) There's a massive forest there too, Epping iirc.
We had friends who lived in various parts of Essex when I was younger. Essex is ok.

Actually, I do eat cockles - I've had a bit of a craving for them recently. 
No jellied eels, though. Bluergh.
Essex isn't North of London, though. It's on the North side of the Thames, East of London. You only have to go through Kent to get there if you're South of the river and avoiding going through London. Epping Forest is now officially part of London, and it is lovely, with an interesting history - lots of Kray burials. The bit I'm from is Grays, a very industrial area that merits its name, but there are some very countrysidey parts of Essex as well - exactly like Kent, really.

Is that in the Billy Bragg song, A13?
scifisam
feck! arse! girls! drink!
Yup! I'd never heard it before, though.
If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that's the best
Go motorin' on the A13
If you're looking for a thrill that's new
Take in Fords, Dartford Tunnel and the river too
Go motorin' on the A13
It starts down in Wapping
There ain't no stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon
Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea,
Chalkwell, Prittlewell
Southend's the end
If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that's the best
Go motorin' on the A13
Part of Thurrock (Purflett) is also where Dracula's first UK home was, and another part (Tilbury)is where Elizabeth the first set the Armada off. Grays itself is just grey.
