lunched

Had noontime food

Lunched is the past tense of lunch, meaning to eat a midday meal.

We lunched at a café near the office.

In British slang, if someone is described as "out to lunch," they're distracted or not thinking clearly—so lunched can occasionally appear in informal contexts meaning mentally checked out or confused.
