brunching

Weekend morning meal

Brunching is eating brunch—the late-morning meal that combines breakfast and lunch.

The word emphasizes the social, leisurely aspect of the meal: We're brunching at that new place downtown, Sunday brunching with friends has become our ritual.

Brunching often implies mimosas, eggs Benedict, and unhurried conversation.
