I agree that it is not "dialect" but Latin. However, the use of this Latin word in the sense of a small meal is restricted to certain parts of southern (catholic) Germany. Even if the origin of this word is not dialect, it is used like dialect. Most of the people using it would not think about a canonic meaning; language can develop and become indpendent from its original source.
