Brunch

[OceanEyes28]

It's Sunday. You guys goin to brunch?

Do you even brunch?

Or are you like "wtf is a brunch?" right now?

I go to brunch with the same people almost every Sunday. It started about a year ago. They have other friends, Caleb and I have other friends, but when it's Sunday, we brunch with each other.

What's your favorite brunch meal?

I switch between pancakes and poached eggs. I don't do Eggs Benedict, because I don't eat ham, but if you replace it with a CRAB CAKE (and some places do), well then yes please.

And finally,

Mimosa or Bloody Mary?

If you say Bellini, where the heck are you going to brunch?

[Victoria]

If you have pancakes or poached eggs for brunch, aren't you just eating breakfast? XD
I never have brunch at all, because to me it seems like such a pretentious term to use for something that's really just... breakfast at a later time than normal. xP [Hint, I don't know what Brunch really is. But it seems like something high class people do.]

[OceanEyes28]

From what I can tell, it's breakfast foods at 11am with the option of getting day drunk or just ordering lunch. I'm into it.

[Victoria]

Oh. Huh. That's.. that sounds pretty cool, but I doubt it's something I'd really get to do because I wake up so early and eat breakfast at like 8am. XD So I guess I'd just order lunch, but.. but then it'd be lunch time. ._.

I actually like doing the Irish breakfast if given the option. Bacon, sausage, beans, toast, white and black pudding, eggs. Delicious. Also, bloody Mary to start and then lunch beers.

If Irish breakfast isn't an option, pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon.

I play softball on Sundays though, so I usually just grab something from the deli and go to the fields. Then we usually go out after

[LocoColt04]

Pete, please define a "lunch beer" as I am very curious as to what this pertains.

[Victoria]

I'm going to presume that it means beer during lunch time. o.o

[LocoColt04]

Obviously, but what are the restrictions? Certain types? Brands? Colors? Flavors?
I AM CURIOUS

Lunch - Maine Beer Company ???

[Pete]

That's precisely what it is. Also sometimes called a liquid lunch, though that moreso implies that you're only having drinks instead of a meal. It doesn't really sound accurate with brunch.

General idea is that the drinking doesn't really end with the mimosa or bloody mary.

Ive done away with the common terms denoting meals associated with time of day. When breakfast, lunch and dinner used to mean something; now all have become one.

Its like hunting the gazelle. The power of life and death is within your hands, suddently instinct kicks in, your palms become sweaty and nothing matters anymore. The future is in your sweaty palms and theres nothing else you can do. Squeezing the trigger each time is akin to each delicious bite you take to replenish your bodily vessal for sustinance. One life force consuming another to combine as one, more powerful form. Its a beautiful thing. Your saliva breaks down each molecule attached to old memories of your fallen hunt, suddently they haunt you. You are now the victim, plagued by the thoughts of the devoured soul, teaching you the darkness.

pfft,brunch.

Brunch isn't real. Who eats at 11 AM? When did this world become so spineless? Breakfast is anywhere between 6:30 and 8:00 AM. Lunch is between 12:00 and 1:00 PM, and dinner is between 4:30 and 6:00 PM. If you combine two meals once a week, you'll mess up your entire metabolism, and pretty much overnight, you'll become morbidly obese. That's science, and anything that you claim is science is a fact, and that's a fact.

If this thread has shown me one thing, it's that there is no hope for humanity. God damn all of you, and God damn brunch. Pedicabo vigilum.

...dinner is between 4:30 and 6:00 PM.

Is it just me or do you eat dinner really early?

I'm ashamed in every person here and not mentioning cantelope.

IT'S NOT QUITE BREAKFAST, IT'S NOT QUITE LUNCH BUT IT COMES WITH A SLICE OF CANTELOPE

If someone knows that quote, thanks.


Edit for Alpha: You'd be surprised how many people eat dinner before 6pm.

Edit: mimosa cause bloody marys are a no thanks

[Victoria]

Well excuse me for eating dinner at 5pm. =|

Mimosa?
I'm a married woman, please don't call me that.

Equally relevant quote, Jacques.


I don't eat dinner until 7ish

[LocoColt04]

Dinner at seven? That's delightfully early. I usually eat between 2100 & 2230. My definition of lunch occurs between 1300 & 1500, which fortunately includes happy hour at a lot of places.

I actually dont eat dinner until around 6 - 6:30. Although its not uncommon for people to eat around 7 - 8pm, which I find absurd. How dare people eat so late.

[GypsyElder]

I haven't had the chance to have a REAL Brunch, BUT it is on my list this summer.

To be honest, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, (except for brinner ) don't really exist for me. I try to eat only when necessary. By necessary, I mean only when I know I need calories and not just when I feel hungry. The reason is that today, (especially here in the states) delicious fast food is always available at our beck and call, and most people tend to over indulge and snack unnecessarily because we are so over conditioned to just eat whenever our stomach says to.They say breakfast is the most important meal, but honestly, all it does is get my metabolism going too early in morning. This makes me even more hungry and prone to snacking throughout the day.

Brunch seems like an awesome alternative for this reason.

Also, MIMOSA.

[OceanEyes28]

MEL that is weirdly one of the top 5 reasons I like it. I can have delicious breakfast, but at noon. It's intermittent fasting on easy mode.

This makes me even more hungry and prone to snacking throughout the day.

When you get randomly hungry and the urge to snack on something when you know you're not hungry. Try drinking some water. Usually gets rid of the urge to grab some chips.

Based on my two likes today, Tiff totally understands Irish Breakfast brunch and lunch beers.

It also leads to general insanity when the two of us drink together. True story <3

From what I can tell, it's breakfast foods at 11am with the option of getting day drunk or just ordering lunch. I'm into it.

I just call that breakfast. Bacon, eggs, scotch. Breakfast of champions.

[Rowan]

Traditionally, breakfast means to break ones fast (after sleeping). So anytime is breakfast as long as its the first meal you eat after you wake up.

[Pete]

Yeah, but brunch makes it socially acceptable to start drinking in public at 10am.

[loaf]

You don't need an excuse to drink during the day/public.

[Rowan]

I drank a daiquiri at 7:00am once. I was underage too. Obviously, cause I was drinking a daiquiri.

[OceanEyes28]

I usually feel like I'm being more cost efficient by getting a bloody mary, because I probably won't make that at home. Like I can pour OJ into champagne and do a pretty good job, but I don't have a bloody mary recipe, except for ****in Zing Zang. However, it is not unusual for my brunch... crew (ohhh so douchey) to just order three bottles of champagne and ask for a... carafe... of OJ. That's pretty efficient.

Mostly though, I just want poached eggs and blueberry pancakes all the time, you can bring me watery coffee even, I don't care.

[Alpha]

my brunch... crew

Imagine if that film had been called The Brunch Crew

[loaf]

We did The Brunch Crew a few weeks ago. It involved Tacos and alcohol at 11am.
