BLOGGING-EVENT & ROUND-UP
Finally, the round-up has been released!
When I created this event, I never thought that it would be so popular. There were so many entries (52 all in all) that I got overwhelmed be the amount of work it represented. In a sense, I was somehow a "victim" of my own success. Amazing!
I hope that you'll enjoy the round-up and that it will give you ideas for your future Sunday breakfasts and brunches...
I wish to thank you all for your interest in this event and for your enthusiasm. Without you nothing would have been possible!!!
American bloggers:

Thankfully, Butta Buns and Q have restarted the ritual. She will now stop by the store to buy smoked salmon and all the other ingredients needed in order to make a bagel & lox sandwich or she will buy some beer for her Welsh rarebit...

During their childhood, both of them had fried food for breakfast, so naturally that's what Gattina chose for their Sunday brunch. Her "Chocobanache Beignets" (see link) look wonderful and very scrumptious!

With her husband, she has country ham, plenty of green tomatoes, fried green tomatoes along with liver pudding accompanied with buttery grits.

She enjoys to take time to look at something like Cook's Illustrated, the New York Times, or some other kind of magazine, to sip her coffee with a drop non-homogenized whole milk and eat some homemade healthy granola (recipe on her blog).
His ideal meal is composed of eggs cooked sunnyside up, sausages, home fries, rye toasts with butter and a cup of good coffee.
Some weeks ago, he had scrambled egg burritos topped with salsa verde and Mexican queso blanco served with black beans and home fries (potatoes), three cups of coffee with milk and no sugar.

Sometimes, she goes out for brunch. She will then order something healthier like fruits and toast. But what she loves the most are pancakes. It is her treat...
This time, Paz ordered sausages, pancakes and eggs. A heavy brunch that she usually finishes off with a can of Coke!

The brunch buffet consisted of yoghurts, d fresh fruits, various cheeses, fruit salads, "Galette A La Frangipane" (frangipany tart), different kinds of cakes, dried fruits, baked items like "Croissants", "Pains Au Chocolat" (chocolate croissants) or "Pains Au Sucre" (little brioches topped with sugar), jams and freshly pressed fruit juices.

She decided upon making a marvelous "Sweet Cherry & Almond Coffee Cake" (recipe on her blog) after having seen a recipe that she wanted to try on another blog.
She loved EVERY huevos rancheros that she had and NEVER did she eat the same twice as it was prepared differently each time! She'll have her eggs either fried, scrambled or sunny side up. As toppings, she'll have black beans or pinto, veggies like peppers, potatoes, corn, and chayote squash, cheese from sharp cheddar to Jack to Cotija, sour cream, guacamole and even certain sauce like fiery moles and various salsas...

They love to have bacon, sausage (local sausage from southern pig farmers) and ham (country) with toasted breads (local seeded multi grain), grits (a combo of local white and yellow), hash browns. Muscadine jelly or raspberry or fig (homemade) is added for those with a sweet tooth. And in-season fruits! If they have many people at home, then they'll make blueberry pancakes or pecan waffles. When entertaining friends, They like to make eggs Benedict with bacon or crab with an English muffin, a crab cake, a poached egg with freshly made hollandaise and a mimosa. Lately, they've been having sour cherry juice and champagne.
However, lately, they've been trying to loose some weight and unless they have guests, mostly they've been rotating breakfast; one day, hard boiled egg with fat free cottage cheese and yogurt and the next, an egg white omelet stuffed with Gwatney low fat sausage, sautéd with bell pepper, onion, garlic and low fat provolone cheese and topped with homemade salsa. Another occasional treat is their version of "shit-on-a-shingle".
Generally, on Sundays, she'll have brioche that she either toasts or transforms into French toast. A few months after moving to the US, she immediately fell in love with coffee cakes. That's exactly what she made in order to use her stash of fresh cherries!

They all love: buttermilk pancakes with fresh mango and slices of apple (being a Frenchie, she always gets the jams out, malthough maple syrup always takes over!), chocolate chip pancakes (for her children), linseed flour and cranberry muffins, asparagus and cheddar omelet, beet(root) greens omelet....
Canadian bloggers:

Generally he has brunch outside, either at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, the Queen Elizabeth Hotel (more upscale), at an eatery called "Beauty" or at a chain restaurant named "Eggspectations".
His typical brunch consists of coffee, a fruit salad, either french toast or omelet or bagel with cream cheese & lox, a pastry of some sort and maybe some fruit juice. That definitely fills him until late afternoon...
Here's the menu on that day: quiche with mushrooms and onions, banana cookies, croissants, fresh fruits (melon, strawberry, mandarin...), spreads (apple sauce with marple syrup, milk caramel) and condiments (fruit ketchup and vinegared beetroot).

Firstly, she has a marple yoghurt, then she eats a few blueberry pancakes with sausages and marple syrup. Gato Azul also has to drink a "Café Au Lait" (coffee with hot milk), otherwise her meal would not be complete!
A very enjoyable moment of peace shared around a cup of good hot chocolate and some fresh bread!

Here's his susprise table: mimosa (orange juice with sparkling wine, buckwheat crepes, marple syrup and marple flakes, strawberry and rhubarb puree and black coffee.
English blogger:
On this day, their brunch (see link) consisted of: homemade (English) chips liberally sprinkled with sea salt and vinegar from the jar of pickled onions with two fried organic eggs, fried organic streaky bacon, hashbrowns and toasted bread...
Filippino blogger:

Here's her typical breakfast called "tapsilog": cured meat (wild boar tapa) doused with her homemade vinegar mix that has pieces if bird’s eye chilies as well as ginger, garlic and pepper and accompanied by fried rice and eggs.
French bloggers:

Her brunch goes as follows: strawberry and apricot salad with balsamic vinegar and vanilla sugar and fresh blueberry pancakes with chocolate sauce...

There, the choice of food is vast and ranges from savory stuff to sweet things. You can even have warm dishes as well as cold dishes...

This time though, she made a brunch that consisted of: coffee, tea, seeded bread rolls, small brioches with or without chocolate chips, fig and vine peach jams, a cream cake, seasonal fresh fruits, lavender honney and fresh goat's cheese marinaded in olive oil with herbs.

On her table, you'll always find tea (orange tea), proteins (chicken, tofu, graved lax, scrambled eggs...), cereals (healthy cereal muffins, scones, granola or slices of bread), a milk product (biological goat's yoghurt mixed with honey) and fresh fruits (strawberries dipped in sugar). For this very blog event, she has decided to treat us with some luxurious food. Her protein count was brought by smoked eel, dill shrimps and a deliciously tender biological smoked salmon!

On their table you'll more likely find the following items: coffee, tea, hot chocolate, freshly pressed orange juice, fresh fruits (kiwis, bananas, cherries, strawberries, apricots, pears...), yoghurts or cream/fresh cheese, bread to eat with homemade jam (pear, strawberry, fig...), cereals with milk or spice bread, fresh and warm croissants, cake and even some cheese.

Here's the great food Dorian prepared for his family's gourmet brunch: a rolled omelet with herbs and spices, a shrimp salad with 2 kinds of pomelos, chocolate bread (cake) with orange marmelade, orange rind butter, pistachio praline butter and a sparkling pomelo drink.

If she doesn't have anything to eat, then she can quite easily become irrascible! And although, it is an important meal to her eyes, it doesn't have to be big.
She'll always have a bowl of milk coffee without sugar, a bit of bread (sometimes toasted), crackers with butter (never any jam). Exceptionally she'll eat some leftover fruity dessert or during the holidays, the breakfasts will be quite big with bread and jam. When there are guests, she'll treat them well and she'll then have with them (after having firstly eaten breakfast earlier on in order to be in good spirits)...

It goes in that way: a few expressos (while reading a magazine or a book), lightly toasted and warm fresh bread with butter (that melts thaks to the heat of the toasted bread) and homemade jam (fig jam made by her parents or her own mirabelle jam)...

It all started with a typical English breakfast (eggs, bacon, baked tomatoes, sausages, fried mushrooms and beans), then it was followed by pancakes with tons of maple syrup, a fruit salad (strawberries, mangoes, apples and oranges soaked in a fragrant ginger and pepper syrup) and finally their brunch ended with a "Bourdaloue Tart" (a French pear and almond tart) that one of Gracianne's friends brought with her.

On her table you'll find: orange juice, a pallet of different fruits, ham, eggs, sardines, croissants, jam yoghurts, herbed fresh cheese spread....

There were 20 of them at the same table and it was delicious! The menu was as follows: hot drinks, a basket full of baked goods (viennoiseries, bread, toast, jam, butter...), fresh fruit juices, scrambled eggs and a salad with marinaded salmon, fresh cheese with honey and sesame seeds and a fruit salad.

She eats croissants, pains au chocolat and drinks milk coffee (café au lait). Her girls prefer to have some muffins and orange juice....

That's what they like to have: hot drinks (cappuccino, coffee, hot chocolate and green tea with mint), cold drinks (orange juice, vitamin juice and milk), sweet treats (peaches in syrup, homemade bread, chocolate cake with pecans and salty butter, vanilla brioche, little brioches and biscotti), spreads (butter, honey, apricot jam and berry jam), savory delicacies (plancha fried quail eggs, plancha fried bacon, plancha fried speck, gouda and hard-boiled quail eggs).

Generally they included a huge Prime Rib Roast, a freshly baked ham, eggs Florentine, Benedict, poached, scrambled or fried, potatoes (scalloped, au gratin, fried) and Cheesy Hash Browns, some sort of fish (poached or pan-fried), peel'em-yourself shrimp, toast, bacon, sausage, waffles and pancakes, fruit crepes, cheese blintzes, chocolate cake, donuts and pastries and Irish Coffee.
Then, they joined health clubs, went to fancy health spas on vacation, cut back on one or two things in their diet and eliminated the brunches. They had fresh fruit and yogurt for breakfast, the only acknowledgment of Sunday was a pot of gourmet coffee to sip whilst reading the Sunday Funnies!
Now, they tend to eat light meals in the morning. Other than the once-a-year early Sunday morning deliver of fresh croissant and pain au chocolat, they'll have cereals (usually Bran Flakes). In winter, sometimes, they'll have hot porridge and rarely, they'll have omelets or poached eggs. The closest they come to any decadence at all is 'Fitness avec Chocolat Noir', rice and oat flakes with a few 'petals' coated in a lovely dark chocolate.
Times have changed...

Since she was in Aurillac at a food festival, she has taken the opportunity to blog about brunches (see link) and the buffet at the hotel...


That's what they had: strawberries, melon, te, kamut bread, cake leftovers (cannelés, meringues, "moelleux" cake with strawberries and "merveilles/French doughnuts"), sliced and fried blood sausages, tomatoes, bread, charcuteries...

In the morning, she's not a savory person, so a hard boiled egg with bread and salty butter is pretty much the only thing that she can swallow. Mamina is a real sweet tooth... She'll have an expresso or two accompanied by a viennoiserie or a slice of cake, orange juice, fresh fruit mixed with cream/fresh cheese and a few apricots.

With her husband, she'll have a cup of tea or coffee, orange juice, Budwig cream (see infos), seasonal fresh fruits (vitamins) and homemade brioche with jam and butter.

Here are the wonderful recipes (see posts entitled "What's For Brunch" I-IV) she's decided to share with us: carrot cake, chorizo and camembert muffins, English spices and fig scones, banana bread, olive oil cakes, dulce leche, lemon curd and strawberry and balsamic vinegar jam.

If you are one of her guests, here's what you'll be likely to enjoy at her place: brioches, chocolate cakes with almonds and raspberries, homemade bread, pumpkin cake, praline cake, cardamom cookies, "Nonnettes" (round little spice cakes), muffins, fresh fruit salad with "Faisselle" (fresh cheese), farmer's butter, homemade jams, the neighbor's honey, leftovers like macaroons or fruit candy, argan oil brioche, serrano ham, cheeses, farm eggs and the list is long... All that good stuff is, of course, accompanied by various kinds of teas, coffees (black or latte macchiato), hot chocolates made with Varloha chocolate.
Mingoumango also tells us that she has seduced her lover thanks to her gorgeous brunches. So girls, there's no excuse now, you know how to win the heart of your darling!!!
Here's how it goes: soft-boiled eggs, a "Baguette Monge" (for dipping in the egg yolk and making "tartines"), a yoghurt sweetened with raspberry jam, freshly pressed fruit juice ("Bloody Smoothie"), a hot chocolate (by C. Felder), a croissant, Nutella paste, Isigny butter.

This Sunday they had homemade jams (Spanish melon, strawberry, rose, cherry...), honey (all kinds of flowers and a Haute-Savoie honey another blogger sent), homemade spelt bread, salty butter from Guérande, coffee, praline brioche and fruit juice (blood orange and orange).

Here's an example of what she will have: milk coffee (or coffee milk) without sugar, anything sweet that she finds (leftovers of cakes, cookies waffles, crepes), a soft-boiled egg (very rarely though), brioche if her mother makes jam, cereals (if she goes to school), viennoiseries (when her boyfriend is there), a verrine with cream cheese or yoghurt (during the holidays) and sugar buns.

Slices of fresh fruits, yoghurts and chestnut flour cake, raspberry sabayon and chocolate cake, crème brûlée and cake with chocolate chips, mango-coconut-pineapple tiramisù and almond biscotti...

Here is the brunch she had: chrik (Constantinean brioches) filled with milk chocolate or not, mint tea, orange juice and cherry honey (to eat with the non-filled brioches).
Sometimes, Oum Koulthoum will make her bread on Saturday evening, other times she will get up early in order to make waffles, crepes, beignets... She always drinks tea (Lipton, mint, etc...) and at certain times, she'll eat a yoghurt

Here's an example of what they like to eat and drink: guacamole, raisin crepes, viennoiseries, melon, fried bananas, some tarama or tzatziki, shrimps, bread and butter...

They had: sweet and savory muffins, almond and goji berry cookies, a fresh fruit salad (kiwi, pineappla and ginger), one leftover candied mango and ginger madeleine, homemade yoghurts, maple syrup, peach and coconut juice as well as coffee...

Here is the kind of classic brunch that Véro and her family will have when they wake up late: a big tea for her, a cappuccino for her "Doudou" (hubby) and hot chocolates for the girls, croque-monsieurs, toasted bio-bread, fruits (grapefruits, passionfruits, kiwis...), free trade fruit juice (guava), jams (her favorites are blackberry and fig/violet) and buttermilk scones.

She usually always eats some cereals, a fruit, has a milk product and a hot beverage. This very Sunday, she had: cereal bread, some fruits, milk, Nutella, hibiscus and pineapple tea, coconut jam, blackberry jam, banana and raspberry pancakes with maple syrup and macha and raspberry muffins.
Israeli blogger:

They'll always have a herbed omelet, fresh squeezed orange juice from oranges that grow three minutes walk from their home, fresh brewed coffee, various Israeli soft and semi-soft cheeses, jam and homemade bread or scones. This time, she made wholewheat scones with cottage cheese, labane and Bulgarian cheese spread, and served a leftover fruit salad.
Portuguese blogger:

Occasionally, during the winter, she'll have an American-style brunch with fried eggs, bacon, French toasts with fig jam, coffee, fruit juices...
It is only when she is out of home that she'll have a late Portuguese- style breakfast or brunch (see link): pâo-de-lò (see recipe), seasonal fruits, cheese, charcuteries (see infos), homemade pumpkin and cherry jam, mountain honey, salted butter, fresh bread, fruit juices and milk coffee...
Swiss blogger:

The complete report was posted on her blog "P'tit Miam Tout En Couleur" (see link)...
