Cau Brunch – A feast with a special deal! -More and more local restaurants are joining in the new trend of Brunch. This popular meal started off as the boozy Sunday morning posh breakfast and chill out in the USA, but it now has taken over weekdays too. Brunch is actually a combination of breakfast and lunch so served from 11 am to 3 pm. Perfect if you have been to the gym and need refuelling afterwards or meeting up with friends over a bite to eat or a working breakfast in the late morning.
Slowly over the years, Brunch has moved into breakfast time. It is now hip and trendy to call food served from 7 am Brunch too. It reflects the contemporary look of the food served early mornings. English breakfast tends to stand for a fry up and if you want a lighter version, toast and marmalade. As times are changing our palette is too! The increase in popularity of clean eating, vegetarian and vegan diets certainly boosted the demand for a new type of ‘English breakfast’.
Brunch can be anything from pancakes, a fry up, rainbow bowls, Dahl, hot sandwiches and poached eggs. Just a few examples though as the ever popular smashed avocado will almost always feature on the menu. The boozy part is a fun part of these meals, but often left out on weekdays as drinking on ‘school days’ in the morning is not a good idea!
Breakfast is one of my favourite and most important meals of the day. It’s my heritage. It is in my genes, Dutch people hardly skip breakfast! What could be on my plate? Anything from Vietnamese Pho to Dahl or smashed avocado. My tipple? A spicy Bloody Mary. Of course, not on weekdays!
