Brunch

• Brunch originated in the British upper classes. Brunch is a meal which is eaten in the late morning or early afternoon, generally between the hours of 10 in the morning and two in the afternoon. A typical brunch combines elements of breakfast and lunch, reflecting the fact that it is supposed to serve for both meals.

• Many people associate brunch with the weekends, particularly Sundays, perhaps because many people are able to sleep in on the weekends, making a late breakfast and early lunch combination more appealing. Technically, however, brunch, like breakfast, can be served on any day of the week.
