Brunch
is a late morning meal between the typical time for breakfast and
lunch. It serves as a replacement for breakfast, usually eaten when
one rises too late to eat breakfast.
Brunch is typically served beginning in the 10:00 a.m. hour, and continuing
through early afternoon. The term is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch.
While common in the United States, unlike "tiffin", the term originated in
1896 as British student slang (as cited in Punch magazine).
Brunch can be served after a morning event or prior to an afternoon one,
such as a wedding or sporting event. It is usually a more relaxed meal
than breakfast or lunch, and considered appropriate for informal
celebrations.
