What's postprandial?
(pōst'pran'dē əl)
adj., after a meal, especially after dinner.
[The general] did not finish his sentence, for at this moment Ferdishenko pushed a chair up from behind, and the general, not very firm on his legs, at this postprandial hour, flopped into it backwards. It was always a difficult thing to put this warrior to confusion, and his sudden descent left him as composed as before.
From Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot
