As stated in some responses by example, it's finger food and lighter fare for lunch. Generally, the food is easy to eat, balance on your knee :), is less likely to cause you to doze in an hour or so and doesn't require a lot of utensils.

For example, at seminars and full-day meetings, lunch is quick, buffet style and almost impossible to spill!

Generally one with cold food such as cheese, ham, chicken, with side dishes of tomatoes and salad served with a chunk of bread. In England they do a 'Ploughman's Lunch' which comprises of cheese, tomatoes, pickled onions, potato crisps, relish, slice of lettuce and cucumber and a crusty bread roll with butter, sometimes with a slice of ham.
