Mealshommikusöök

Mealshommikusöök refers to a late breakfast or brunch, typically enjoyed on weekends or holidays. The term is a combination of "meal" and "hommikusöök," the Estonian word for breakfast. This meal often incorporates elements of both breakfast and lunch, offering a wider variety of dishes than a traditional breakfast.

Commonly served items at a mealshommikusöök include eggs prepared in various ways, such as scrambled, fried, or as omelets, alongside bacon, sausages, and other breakfast meats. Baked goods like pancakes, waffles, pastries, and bread are also popular accompaniments. In addition to sweet options, savory dishes are often included, mirroring lunch fare. These might encompass sandwiches, salads, soups, or even lighter main courses.

The beverage selection for a mealshommikusöök typically extends beyond coffee and tea. Juices, smoothies, and alcoholic beverages such as mimosas or Bloody Marys are frequently offered, further blurring the lines between breakfast and lunch. This meal is often a social occasion, enjoyed with family and friends in a relaxed setting. It provides an opportunity to linger over food and conversation, making it a popular choice for leisurely mornings. The flexibility in its menu allows for a wide range of culinary interpretations, catering to diverse tastes and preferences.
