Quiz: How Well Do You Know Your Brunch?
Think you know brunch from A to Z? Put your knowledge of the world’s most popular brunch dishes to the test
By Paulina DiazgranadosScroll
From bagels to bacon, pancakes to pastries, fruit salad to fried chicken – brunch combines the best of breakfast and lunch, so it’s no wonder it has become such a popular meal across the globe. Whether it’s the buttery, flaky croissants of France, the savoury frittatas of Italy, or a spicy shakshuka from North Africa, brunch dishes are as varied and flavourful as the countries they come from.
Think you’ve got it all figured out? Prove it. Sit back, grab a mimosa or a cappuccino, and let’s see how much you know about the delicious and diverse world of brunch!
