midnight feasts
Clandestine boarding-school meals
Midnight feasts are secretive gatherings, typically among children at boarding schools or sleepovers, where food is eaten late at night after adults have gone to bed.
The appeal lies in the transgression—staying up past bedtime, smuggling snacks, whispering in the dark.
The term is especially British and evokes nostalgic images from children's literature: We planned a midnight feast with biscuits and lemonade hidden under the bed.
