I'm used to hour long lunches at my old company, but I get the feeling that may not fly at every job. I'm in between jobs right now, so I am getting myself ready!

At our company you can take a break for as long as you like. There are only minimum time periods, which are also prescribed by law (Germany)
You can split the minutes also over multiple breaks. E.g. 2x 15 min
I'm french, lunches break are sacred XD really !
1 hour at the very least ! and to eat well and relax, in order to be the most ready for the afternoon. In fact, I find it to be really important, to be in the right conditions to work, and to stay mentally and physically healthy.
Two years ago in a really big french company, we sometimes took even more than that. But it was more a matter of mental health (the best way to deal with terrible managers all day is to completely relax and take a good break at midday)
1hr for a lunch break is common (in the US, at least).
A company should outline what is expected for lunch breaks, breaks, etc in the employee handbook. If it's not covered, I would ask prior to the first day.
