I not totally against morning stand ups but with people starting at different times it may be easier to have a lunch time stand up.
People may start (culture/nation dependent) e.g. 8am , 9am or 10am. I am usually a late starter so I hate stand ups at 9.30am as that as soon as I get in and I have no recollection yet of what I actually did the day before. And had I started a lot earlier also a sudden forced break may be breaking the flow.
People are more flexible on when they can go for lunch, (and to encourage people eating together in general for better team spirit), why not have the stand up 15, 10 or even just 5 minutes before lunch. E.g. 12:45 each day or 11:15 (depending when lunch hour is appropriate for where you work).
When people realise unnecessary prolonging the meeting is eating into their lunch hour some may keep their stand ups shorter :) And there is not much lost productivity by just stopping for a few minutes before lunch.
And some people may not... leading to the whole team missing their lunch break on a regular basis because of that One Guy who won't shut up. Guarantee that would have happened in the last team I did "Agile" with.
