National Brunch Month 

Breakfast has long been considered one of the most important ways for a person to start their day right. But when it’s the weekend and friends or family members want to meet but don’t feel like getting up early, an excellent option can be on the table – brunch!

National Brunch Month is here to celebrate and show appreciation for this delightful meal that is made up of delicious foods, but happens just a bit later in the day than a typical breakfast might.

History of National Brunch Month

Originating in England in the late 19th century, this unique meal called “brunch” seems to have started out as an opportunity for those who socialized late into the night on Saturday to have a later breakfast on Sunday.

The term brunch – a combination of breakfast and lunch – is rumored to have first been used in 1895 in an article by a London publication called Hunter’s Weekly.

Often accompanied by alcoholic beverages such as champagne cocktails, brunch can consist of a variety of breakfast-style dishes that are eaten from the late morning to the early afternoon.
