Postprandial
Something that’s “postprandial” (post-PRAN-dee-ul) – from the Latin for “a late breakfast or lunch” – happens or is done after a meal.
Example (as used by Sylvan Fox in Newsday): “When I wake up in the morning, I can have my usual breakfast – a slightly bizarre concoction of three kinds of cold cereal topped with grapes and a cup of decaf – and then stagger back to bed for a postprandial snooze.”
