WHEN DID BRUNCH take over Ireland? When did your notions take over you?

1. A breakfast roll won’t do

You now know that brunch must be a big deal. It’s not just the imbibing of food that merits brunch, it’s the occasion, and the occasion is not you being a monster.

2. You use brunch as a verb

We’re brunching. You also use it as a noun, ‘doing’ brunch. Both make you equally as insufferable.

3. Your Instagram is full of breakfast food

Which filter best compliments hollandaise sauce? You know.

4. An egg is no longer just an egg

It must be preceding benedict, florentine or some other long, upper-class name.

5. Fish for breakfast is now perfectly acceptable to you

What has become of us at all?

THE. NOTIONS.

6. Pancakes are no longer preserved for Pancake Tuesday

But are they still as special?

7. Your Sunday afternoon isn’t complete without a musical accompaniment

Jazz, piano, a DJ? Guys this is Sunday afternoon.

8. You’re developing a proper ‘taste’ for coffee

No filter crap here. You don’t even know what to do with yourself if there’s no little design on your latte.

9. Alcohol during the day is perfectly acceptable

Mimosas or Bloody Marys with a bit of fruit in it. It’s grand, in fact, it’s not truly brunch if they’re omitted.

10. You judge restaurants based on their brunch reputation

Yep, solid.
