To campaign for a blanket ban on the word ‘brunch’

[Patienceisvirtuous]

I can’t bear it. Soooo pretentious...

Breakfast, lunch, late breakfast, early lunch - yes.
Brunch - no.

Everytime I see an Insta photo hashtagged brunch I inwardly sigh.

Am I the only one? Are you a bruncher too? If so, shame on you 😄

Myfriend lives in the middle east they brunch every other day sure it is just an excuse to drink bucksfizz

It's supposed to be a larger meal to take the place of both breakfast and lunch...

I like the work brunch! But only if you’re actually going out to somewhere that serves it... brunch doesn’t exist at home.

Word*

I love brunch. I go out for brunch all the time.

Too late for breakfast too early for lunch, but if you eat the right stuff it keeps you going til dinner.

I quite like the word 'brunch' as it is a mixture of breakfast and lunch and you can have the bits you like most.

Must admit I used it the other day and cringed inwardly as I typed it.

It's up there with
cuppa
dunno
mumster
and others I wish I could replace...

Love brunch. Particularly bottomless prosecco brunch!

I have never had brunch I have had a late breakfast but never brunch what do you get at brunch that is different?

Sorry op all you are is seeing is Brunchbrunchbrunch

Nah, love it.
Fucking hate could of, should of etc though

You can’t have breakfast at midday. Nor a fry-up for lunch.
Brunch is the only suitable description.

I love brunch too.

Do northerners have brunch seeing as they don't call lunch, lunch? I suppose they could call it brinner?

NOOOOOO!!!

Best meal of the day. Steak and eggs for breakfast? Cocktails at 11 am? Bottomless coffee? Hello?

Why do you HATE FUN?

It's not new, not hipster, not trendy. The word has been in use since the late 1800s.

We have brunch most weekends. Go at about 10.30 to our favorite place and have a lovely combined breakfast/lunch. Have been going to the same place for years. When DT’s were little, DH use to take them on a Sunday so I could have a lie in.

Sometimes we have the "full English" for our evening meal and DD has coined it "brinner", as in breakfast for dinner. Is that any better?

I’m North East Eliza and I have lunch 😀 but yes, ’brinner’ probably more appropriate!

Oh well, I guess this thread may serve as exposure therapy at least 😄

I live in the Caribbean and, much like the Middle East, we brunch all the time - frankly it should be one of our national pastimes.

I bloody love the word Brunch, mainly because it means I get to stuff my face, drink endless champagne and then catch up with friends at a beach bar.

I don't use the word brunch for any other reason though and definitely wouldn't use it if I'd made a concoction of breakfast/lunch myself at home.

No, brunch is only to be used if it comes complete with endless champagne and a cocktail bar.

I mean I’m all for drinking fizz as early as poss. Not if it means I have to say brunch though.

You can't ban brunch! I'll starve at the weekends 😢

Brunch is the best meal of them all. On a par with Christmas dinner that you eat at lunchtime not dinner time.

Eggs benedict plus endless cappuccinos is what I like to have for brunch. Mmmm brunch

Do northerners have brunch seeing as they don't call lunch, lunch? I suppose they could call it brinner

Could you sounds any more sneering?

Oh I love brunch - lie in on a Sunday followed by stack of pancakes, crispy bacon, maple syrup and coffee. No need for food till evening.
