Everyone seems to love brunch, so why don’t we learn more about it?
Definition: Brunch: a meal between lunch and dinner. A simple definition, yet brunch means much more to members of modern society.
History: The meal of brunch originated in England in the early 1900s, gaining popularity in the United States around the 1930s.
Guy Beringer, an English Author, who proposed a “new meal, served around noon, that starts with tea or coffee, marmalade, and other breakfast fixtures before moving along to the heavier fare”.
Modern Meaning: What originated as a simple, relaxing meal for the late riser quickly took the world by storm. Nowadays, this is one of the most popular activities for socialization.
A perfect way to catch up with loved ones while snapping a series of photos for social media. Modern brunch includes a spread of delectable dishes, but more importantly alcohol.
Many hot spots offer bottomless cocktails like bloody marys or mimosas. This has turned the simple meal of brunch into an all-day adventure.
Famous Brunch Dishes
Any food can be classified as brunch these days, but here are a few dishes you can pretty much guarantee seeing on any brunch menu:
French Toast: Thick bread battered, grilled, and topped with butter and syrup. Topped with berries, bananas, chocolate sauce, caramel, or whipped cream. The options are endless and sure to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Eggs Benedict: If french toast is the sweet staple, eggs benedict is the salty one. This classic dish is an English muffin topped with Canadian bacon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.
Shakshuka: Eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce with other vegetables. Ok, this one may not be on every menu you come across.
However, it is perfect for an adventurous eater who wants to try something a little more unique than the two dishes above.
Pair either dish with some crispy home fries, coffee (or a cocktail), and you’ve got yourself the perfect brunch experience. If you want to have a scrumptious brunch from home with any of these dishes, Rockoly can provide you with everything you need.
