A clever wordsmith first pushed the words "breakfast" and "lunch" together to create the word "brunch" way back in 1895. In Hunter's Weekly, British author Guy Beringer made the case that post-church Sunday meals shouldn't be long, multi-course meals of heavy meats and cheeses, but instead lighter fare served late in the morning. ″Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting," Beringer wrote. ″It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.″
