'late morning meal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'brother one in france visits switzerland' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'brother' could be 'br' (abbreviation in titles of monks) and 'br' is present in the answer.
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found within the answer.
'switzerland' could be 'ch' (short for Confoederatio Helvetica, its Latin name) and 'ch' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
