Brunch


Brunch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brunch or bruncheon is a meal eaten if one misses breakfast or lunch. It may be used to combine breakfast and lunch into one meal.[1] The term is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch(eon). Brunch is often served after a morning event or prior to an afternoon one, such as a wedding or sporting event. While common in the United States, according to Punch magazine, the term was introduced in Britain around 1896 by Hunter's Weekly, then becoming student slang.[2]
Some restaurants and hotels serve brunch, especially on Sundays and holidays. Such brunches are often serve-yourself buffets, but menu-ordered meals may be available instead of, or with, the buffet. The meal usually involves standard breakfast foods such as eggs, sausages, bacon, ham, fruits, pastries, pancakes, and the like. However, it can include almost any other type of food served throughout the day. Buffets may have quiche, large roasts of meat or poultry, cold seafood like shrimp and smoked fish, salads, soups, vegetable dishes, many types of breadstuffs, and desserts of all sorts.
The bottom line----------------------------------pigging out!!!! Went to my first brunch with my Red Hatters Sunday and everyone should go at least once in a lifetime.

We used to go on Mother's Day to the Tulsa Marriot Hotel Brunch. It was not only delicious, it was artistic. Oh, now I'm hungry!
