Apparently back in the 1900s Punch magazine in the UK said the term was used to describe a Sunday meal for those who were out partying on Saturday night!
Brunch is my favorite meal. Good, generally, it is  served from 11am to 9pm, do you like it served with some alcoholic drink? Yes I love drinking champagne with my meal. Interesting choice, what standard breakfast food that is usually involved in brunch do you enjoy? I like sausage gravy and biscuits with hashbrowns Sounds good, did you know that it is traditionally accompanied by items like fried eggs an sliced tomatos and bacon? I had no idea. When did brunch become a popular meal? Well, I know that it started in england around the 19th century. In the US, it became popular around 1930 What else can you tell me about its history?
The 1896 supplement to the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' cites ''Punch'' magazine which wrote that the term was coined in Britain in 1895 to describe a Sunday meal for ''Saturday-night carousers'' in the writer Guy Beringer's article ''Brunch: A Plea'' in ''Hunter's Weekly'''  It is sometimes credited to reporter Frank Ward O'Malley who wrote for the New York newspaper ''The Sun'' from 1906 until 1919, allegedly based on the typical mid-day eating habits of a newspaper reporter.
