Huh?

Who the heck calls any meal that starts at noon and ends at 1:30 brunch? Even on a Sunday during finals. That just isn't accurate.

I always thought of Brunch as breakfast food during lunch time--in which case, the Village Quad event on Sunday *is* a brunch, since it starts at lunch time and will consist of bagels, coffee, OJ, and the like.

I think of brunch as from say, 10:30-2; it's a meal where there are some breakfasty foods and lunchey foods to choose from, so it couldn't be so much earlier that you wouldn't eat the lunchey foods. Noon seems reasonable for brunch, especially for finals on a college student body clock.

Then there's my mom, who said we'll go to DINNER for mother's day, and suggests TWO PM as when to have this "dinner."

Well, "dinner" used to mean what we now call "lunch," and "supper" meant "dinner." So maybe she's stuck in ye olde days?

To be waggish about it, this might also depend on when the diners are getting up. A Sunday during finals? People are probably up by 10 or 11, for the most part. And thus it gets to be brunch!

At Swat, Sunday brunch was always served from 11 to 1:30, which was exactly the time for lunch on other days, the difference being what was served, and the fact that there was no previous meal on Sundays.
