What is a Tiffin Set? A Tiffin Set - also known as a ‘dhabba set’ - is an Asian lunchbox, with the tiffin being the lunch in a box. It traditionally allowed people to carry a culinary indulgence that is enjoyed between breakfast and dinner - and might be spiced tea, savoury snacks or even a sweet treat. Time for tiffin. While it’s traditionally a lunchbox, we think it’s ideal for eating lunch or afternoon tea al fresco or taking on a picnic to the park the countryside or the beach. Your sweet treat could of be… tiffin: that traditional chocolate treat full of biscuits and raisins. Yumm.
