das Mittagessen

My friend, Google, informed me that this is how you say "lunch" in German.  I hope he was right!  

Mom, Dad and I enjoyed a nice meal at the German café in downtown French Lick.  Our waiter likely noticed our bewildered faces when presented with the menu and kindly offered to explain the entire selection to us.  We accepted gratefully.  In the end, he recommended and we ordered a platter with a sampling of nearly everything offered on the menu.  It was delicious, and we left more stuffed than we'd intended to make ourselves.
