What is the best brunch?

Sara PintoDec 28, 2021, 7:02 PM

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 😂)

Sara Pinto definitely counts!! I actually forgot about how good orange juice is at breakfast. Heavily underrated as a drink!

Mónica FreitasDec 29, 2021, 12:12 PM

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? 😂

Sara PintoDec 29, 2021, 10:36 PM

Jack Boreham It's the right amount of sweet and acid! Mónica Freitas, I don't remember that video, but I do remember the flop his Francesinha was haha. Can you show us the breakfast video?

Mónica FreitasDec 30, 2021, 11:23 AM

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.

Sara PintoDec 30, 2021, 1:25 PM

Mónica 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

Mónica Freitas sounds fantastic. What yoghurt are we talking about? Greek, probiotic or normal average Joe yoghurt,

Jack BorehamDec 30, 2021, 3:42 PM

Mónica 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 😂. Mónica Freitas give me a full English with some of those toasted buns, and we are good to go😂

Sara PintoDec 30, 2021, 8:04 PM

Jack Boreham Well, at least with the Portuguese food, he isn't doing amazing haha. But his yelling entertains me

Mónica FreitasDec 31, 2021, 11:27 AM

Jack Boreham You're going too fancy schmancy. I'll go for a flavored soy yogurt (lactose intolerance life:smiling_face_with_tear:).

Mónica FreitasDec 31, 2021, 11:29 AM

Jack Boreham Not sure if he's overrated, but if he'd speak to me like he does his contestants, I'd leave ahahahah.

Mónica FreitasDec 31, 2021, 11:31 AM

Jack Boreham I've tried English breakfast and my conclusion is: you're really not worried about high cholesterol ahahah.

Jack BorehamDec 31, 2021, 12:09 PM

Limarc Ambalina best brunch, take on Gordon Ramsay?😂 Sara Pinto Mónica Freitas same, you've seen kitchen nightmares, right? 😄.Mónica Freitas what's schmancy 😱

Sara PintoJan 3, 2022, 2:03 PM

Jack Boreham You bet haha, I've seen it all. He has some interesting insults, I'll give him that haha

Mónica FreitasJan 3, 2022, 2:08 PM

Jack Boreham bits of it 😂, just a made-up word ahaha.

Jack Boreham I’m 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
