Poll of the Week - 11.9.2009

Breakfast and lunch can be separated by as many as three different and distinct meals: second breakfast (loved by Bavarians, and served at 10:30), elevenses (served at 11:00, and adored by such characters as Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh), and brunch. Of these three meals, only brunch has really caught on in America, and it has become the perfect excuse to indulge in breakfast foods after noon.  Sunday Brunch is especially popular, and is well loved by girlfriends sharing gossip, mothers and their doting children, and hungover twenty-somethings recovering from the weekend’s activities.

In this week’s “Poll of the Week”, Little Scarlet asks what is your favorite brunch food?


One of the best things about brunch is that even with these basic menu items, there can be such great variety: pancakes are loaded full of blueberries or chocolate chips, Eggs Benedict’s delicate, poached eggs rest on top of crisp, salty Canadian bacon or sweet, succulent lobster, and an omelette’s filling is limited only by the chef’s imagination! Tell Little Scarlet the best way to eat your favorite brunch food in the Comments section, below!

  1. Great poll! I love Waffles. My waffle maker broke and I need a new one. :(

  2. Love eggs benedict. It is all in the sauce though, as I do not like it tasting too much like lemon and sometimes it tastes like a soup. I also like it occasionally with different breads other than english muffins, like having it with brioche.

  3. Oh, eggs benedict! I dream of you and your buttery goodness. My strange obsessing with fitting into my pants makes them a special treat at a certain restaurant. Mmmmm.

  4. Looks like I picked the winner so far... can't beat eggs benedict, especially with extras like spinach or crab. Yum!

  7. This Grand Marnier French Toast is the best brunch food I've ever made, and since it can be prepped the night before is't perfect for overnight guests or "overnight guests" http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grand-Marnier-French-Toast-715
