Brunch...late for breakfast but still early for a perfect lunch....

An earthy meal, stuffed chicken roll and potato cheese layer

Brunch is an exceptionally common especially during weekends in which people do not need to hustle up in preparing their breakfast. In fact, they will opted to have it rather late in the morning and save themselves to cook another meal for their lunch. Normally, a perfect brunch incorporates breakfast element that enjoyed together with slightly heavier savory dish. However, out of simplicity, most people regards their brunch as lunch meal that is taken before conventional lunch time.
Dating back to 1896, the term "brunch" believed to be coined by Guy Beringer in his article of Brunch: A Plea which was published in Hunter's Weekly and was later became a popular word among students.Since then, brunch almost replace breakfast and lunch altogether. As with the rest of the people that consider weekend should be started as late as possible, i.e: remains in one's comfort of blanket before actually move around to do weekend's chores, I found the idea of having brunch instead of early morning breakfast very much alluring... Wake up around 11.30 am, which was considerably late, however, I manage to come up with fantastic brunch, a combination of oven baked potato cheese layer and oven baked stuffed chicken roll bathed in chicken stock.
