A friend is having family over and asked me to do a brunch for them.

We talked about all the usual suspects, but he wants something different.

So I'm wondering, what would y'all put out on a brunch for 11-12 people?

Funny you bring this up.. I am pretty sure I have never served brunch in my life.. In fact, the whole concept of it is foreign to me.. I would imagine it does involve some sort of fruit like cantaloupe etc., and light finger foods.. Perhaps some chicken salad?

Brunch is typically served late morning, Jafo. And contains elements of breakfast and light luncheon.

Eggs Benedict, for instance, would be a typical brunch dish. As would savory crepes.

Brunch also typically includes light alcoholic beverages, such as Bloody Marys, Mimosas, and the like.
