Brunge

Brunge is a portmanteau word combining "breakfast" and "lunch." It refers to a meal eaten late in the morning, typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., that serves as a combination of both breakfast and lunch. The concept originated in Britain in the late 19th century, gaining popularity as a weekend social activity.

Brunge meals often feature a blend of traditional breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, and pancakes, alongside lunch-style dishes like sandwiches, salads, or even small entrees. The flexibility in timing and menu choices makes brunge an appealing option for those seeking a leisurely start to their day or a meal that bridges the gap between traditional breakfast and lunch hours.

Many restaurants and cafes offer dedicated brunge menus, particularly on weekends. These menus often showcase creative dishes that combine sweet and savory elements. Brunge can be a casual affair at home or a more formal dining experience. It has become a popular way to socialize, especially on Sundays, allowing people to enjoy a relaxed meal without adhering to strict mealtime schedules. The term itself reflects the growing trend of flexible eating habits and the blurring of traditional meal boundaries.
