The term brunch<\/strong> came up in the nineteenth century and is formed by the union of two words: breakfast and lunch. Later on, in the 1930s, it became popular in the United States and, over the years, it has expanded around the world.<\/p>\n

Brunch was born under the intention of replacing breakfast and lunch, by being a late meal<\/strong>, made between 10am and 4pm, on Sundays, holidays or on festive dates. It is an interesting option when you wake up late on a Sunday and there is no possibility of having breakfast, as it would be a meal very close to lunch.<\/p>\n

\"Brunch<\/p>\n

A brunch includes several types of food items, very similar to breakfast\/lunch, but in greater quantity and variety<\/strong>. One of the basic rules of this concept is “abundance”! Because it is, actually, a union between two meals.<\/p>\n

It is usual to include diversified food items,<\/strong> such as fruit<\/a>, bread, cheese, yoghurt, pancakes, eggs<\/a>, avocado, salads and, in a not so nutritionally-interesting way, bacon, cakes, croissants, amongst others.<\/p>\n

\"Brunch<\/p>\n

The presence of drinks<\/strong>, such as infusions, teas, coffees, milk, flavoured water, natural juices, wines, sparkling wine and even cocktails is also common. In fact, any dish can be part of a brunch!<\/p>\n

Finally, it is relevant to provide a sophistication touch to the table, by composing it with delicate porcelain \u2013 such as Costa Verde\u2019s porcelain<\/a> \u2013 light decoration and a good dose of affection. After all, who doesn’t appreciate a good get-together, with a brilliant meal on a harmonious table<\/a>?<\/p>\n
