Brunch is the decadent meal of the week. It includes savory and salty, sweet and indulgent. Brunch conjures up images of eggs Benedict and mimosas for some, and fried chicken and waffles for others. For Americans it is a laid back Sunday tradition, but a closer exploration helps us realize that brunch is also a meal shared in South Asia, the Middle-east, and parts of Europe. Brunch may vary by its signature components but the one thing that distinguishes brunch is it’s merging of breakfast and lunch, and its leisurely pace. This volume will examine and explore brunch as a meal which has evolved historically, developed cross-culturally, and claimed its place in popular culture.
