I think she went to eat without us. :(

I vote for LUPPER, as that is what everyone in my family has called it for ages!

I also vote with Holly! Brunch is 11:00 a.m until 2:00 p.m. or so here in our local restaurants and when someone says brunch, it could be morning or afternoon depending on how you feel that particular day!

It's always on Sunday too!

(this is coming from someone who eats Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner at 2:00 in the afternoon...:p )

no, no. too early

11:02 a.m.

not a minute earlier.

For me, anything between 10:30am-2pm. Just remember if this is next week spring forward the clock. lol

Okay, I'm back, and it was good.

But when somebody says "brunch" and we don't eat until 12:30...uh, that would be LUNCH. To me. Brunch is BETWEEN breakfast and lunch. If brunch is 12:30, when is lunch? 3:00? Supper at 10:00?

I say around 10:00-11:00 is brunch. Who invented that stupid term, anyway? Why don't we just say "early lunch" or "late lunch"? Or...now here's a concept...why don't we just say "let's eat at 12:30"?

It was french toast, with maple syrup.

I was explained this by one of the chefs of one of the restaurants that I worked at years ago.

He said that Brunch is actually having Breakfast for lunch. And it evolved with the Church services...

A lot of the folks would come to the restaurants after church and request breakfast food (like Eggs and Pancakes and French Toasts and such)

but most restaurants opened at 10:30am and started serving lunch, only, not breakfast.

So, someone brilliant started to serve breakfast at lunch to please the crowds and it became a trend.

At least that's what I was told. I just worked there. LOL

my vote is 11:03am

11:00. I love eggs Benedict at any time though.

I think brunch is a combination of typical breakfast foods to include some things that might be considered lunch fare. I know whenever we went out to "brunch" they always served some sort of omelets and pastries along with some sort of meat....maybe steak or sausage. As long as somebody else is cooking I don't care what they call it!

I looked up the definition....."A meal typically eaten late in the morning as a combination of a late breakfast and an early lunch."

Here's what was said about the time it's served....."Brunch can be served between 9am and 11am. In saying this, cafes and restaurants also offer brunch based dishes into the afternoon, especially on Sundays."

Okay....now I'm hungry.....:rolleyes:

Let's all just all go to Grandma's. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner/supper 24/7!

I love breakfast for supper. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow night. French toast, scrambled eggs w/cheese, bacon (extra crispy) and sausage links. Yum!
