The machine keeps the milk at a consistent temperature for as long as is needed.

I stumbled upon the word långfil while looking into this, but I'm not personally familiar with what kind of product it refers to. But I think our fil is different from your fil. Our fil/viili is traditionally elastic, which I think your fil is not.
Elastic like this.
Nowadays there are versions of fil/viili that are less elastic and more like mildly gelatinous, like this. (The separated piece holds shape and the pit doesn't fill up.)
However, as can be noticed, viili in Finnish is clearly a loanword from Swedish fil, so there's been some kind of connection/influence from Sweden at some point.

- two bolillos with spoon-size shredded wheat with bran (I just eat it right out of the box ) and a cup of, uhh, "tea" (the way little Indian kids drink it, so it's mostly just milk ),
- two wheat tortillas with a bowl of yellow split peas (so chapatis and dal ) and a cup of tea, or
- two bagels (usually raisin bagels, occasionally blueberry bagels) with a big glass of cold milk.
Occasionally, it can be something else instead.

Always assumed 19h-20h was standard time to have dinner everywhere...

My schoolmate's family had dinner at 16 when she was a kid. Even I thought that was early, but I guess they skipped the snack time/coffee around 14-15 my family had. In a way it made sense because we had lunch at school at 10.30...
And yes, most people have (at least here) something called "evening snack" around 20-22 that is usually bread, fruits, yoghurt, stuff like that - I used to have porridge when I was a kid. I called it "night porridge" and, according to mum, refused to go to bed without having it first.

Growing up we ate at 1800 hours and had to be in bed before 2100. That really wasn't long enough to get hungry again. My father grew up on a farm and was used to waking at about 0500.
My husband would dine with me between 1800 and 1900, be in bed between 2000 and 2100, and then get up around 2300 for a snack. (He was up by 0430 the next morning.) I tend to fall asleep around 2300 myself so I tend to eat between 1900 and 2000. I find waiting until after 2200 to eat intolerable.
