Brunch is a combination meal served between 10am-3pm that includes elements of both breakfast and lunch. It originated in England in the late 19th century and became popular in the US in the 1930s. Brunch menus typically include dishes like pancakes, eggs, meats as well as more lunch-like items like seafood. Afternoon tea developed in Britain in the 1840s as a light meal served between 4-6pm to curb hunger before dinner. It consists of sandwiches, scones, pastries and cakes served with tea. A reception or buffet tea arranges these items on a buffet table to serve a larger number of guests.
