What is the best brunch?
Jack Boreham Not a big brunch eater, haha, but I would have to say: some scrambled eggs, orange juice, pancakes and I wanna say something salty like croquettes or pie (I'm not sure if this fits a brunch 馃槀)
Sara Pinto definitely counts!! I actually forgot about how good orange juice is at breakfast. Heavily underrated as a drink!
Jack Boreham usually my brunches are just lunches hahaha but I'd say my dream brunch would have: toasts on butter, coffee, orange juice, fruit and scrambled eggs. Maybe a yoghurt too. How about your? Also, this thread reminded me of Gordon Ramsay's video on the Portuguese breakfast. A bust if I remember well, right Sara Pinto? 馃槀
Jack Boreham It's the right amount of sweet and acid! M贸nica Freitas, I don't remember that video, but I do remember the flop his Francesinha was haha. Can you show us the breakfast video?
Sara PintoI think it is this one: https://twitter.com/gordonramsay/status/1401962966854033415?lang=en There was a lot of controversy on Twitter. People posted nonstop pictures of the "real Portuguese breakfast" in response to the video.
M贸nica Freitas Well, that's not what I usually have for breakfast, but it was a nice try hahaha. For anyone wondering, in Portugal, the normal breakfast is toast and coffee with milk, nothing fancy haha. Actually, from where I come from, brunches are only becoming a big thing in the last few years. Is brunch popular in your country? Jack Boreham
M贸nica Freitas sounds fantastic. What yoghurt are we talking about? Greek, probiotic or normal average Joe yoghurt,
M贸nica Freitas Sara Pinto I guess you guys think Gordon is a bit of a flop as a chef. As a fellow brit..... I COMPLETELY AGREE! Overrated chef with a toilet mouth. Sara Pinto, it is popular, because we are lazy and forget to eat in the morning 馃槀. M贸nica Freitas give me a full English with some of those toasted buns, and we are good to go馃槀
Jack Boreham Well, at least with the Portuguese food, he isn't doing amazing haha. But his yelling entertains me
Jack Boreham You're going too fancy schmancy. I'll go for a flavored soy yogurt (lactose intolerance life:smiling_face_with_tear:).

Jack Boreham Not sure if he's overrated, but if he'd speak to me like he does his contestants, I'd leave ahahahah.
Jack Boreham I've tried English breakfast and my conclusion is: you're really not worried about high cholesterol ahahah.
Limarc Ambalina best brunch, take on Gordon Ramsay?馃槀 Sara Pinto M贸nica Freitas same, you've seen kitchen nightmares, right? 馃槃.M贸nica Freitas what's schmancy 馃槺
Jack Boreham You bet haha, I've seen it all. He has some interesting insults, I'll give him that haha
Jack Boreham bits of it 馃槀, just a made-up word ahaha.

Jack Boreham I鈥檓 not the biggest brunch guy but when I do go for brunch, I usually go for an Acai Bowl. It satisfies my sweet tooth while being moderately healthy, although that latter is probably wishful thinking
