Will you soon be having Sunday Brunch? What does Sunday Brunch mean to you? Is your Sunday Brunch a Spiritual Thing for you? Is your Coffee Shop your Church?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Friends,

 

I have been here for a long time. I mean a long time, not just one or two decades.

I have seen the Sunday-Brunch attire change over the years.

 

 

And, I have witnessed many guys having Sunday Brunches, or just meeting together at a coffee shop for a casual discussion about nothing particular.

 

Most of the guys I have overheard in coffee shops seem to gab like hens.

These are the same guys who maintain that women are the ones who behave more henlike.

But, actually, it is the men who seem to gab more than the ladies.

Men tend to repeat themselves, over and over.

 

Maybe, the reason that men find women-gabbing, during any given Sunday Brunch, more objectionable is just because women tend to gab using a higher tenor of voice.

 

What is your idea of the perfect place for a Sunday Brunch in Thailand?

Does your Sunday-Brunch Place measure up?

Or, do you not even care?

 

Do you enjoy a Sunday Brunch in a place where the majority of participants are wearing cargo shorts?

 

Or, is your taste more inclined toward enjoying your Sunday Brunch with likeminded people?

People of some class?

 

 

Do you take notes on what you have discussed during your Sunday Brunch?

 

Are you using your time wisely during your Sunday Brunch, or just ... FRITTERing it away?

 

 

 

After over two years of frittering by yourself, even more than Roth ever imagined in his great book, Portnoy's Complaint, now you finally have another to fritter with.

 

Just hope you have found a great restaurant, some place by the sea, for thee than thou.

 

 

 

Real life is never like it is in the Movies.

 

There is Hollywood, Bollywood, Chinawood, and Thaiwood.

Nothing is ever as it seems.

 

However, maybe for just a few hours over Sunday Brunch, life gets tolerable.

 

Sunday Brunch is a Church.

 

Regards,

GammaG

 

Note: Eat your fill on Sundays, if only to help you stomach your Mondays.

Most of us are retired, Sunday is just another day. 

If anything, I see more guys doing the Sunday roast in ye old replica british pub.

a) Churches are useless

b) Coffee and coffee shops are important

c) Nobody has Sunday brunch in a coffee shop. If you want Sunday brunch, then do it right.

Sunday roast <> Sunday brunch

Tradition!

 

Tradition!!

 

No matter how hot the weather, yet there is always tradition.

 

Still, a Sunday roast over here is slightly different from a Sunday roast back in the home country.

 

 

Does anyone, any longer, have any longing for such a roast beef, as it was served before?

 

Probably not.

 

Because, things change.

 

Now, there is a new way to serve the same old meat.

Brunch means I make up terms cause I am a ....

[LaosLover]

I wish the enormo-buffets started serving around 4 PM-ish. No way am I up to consume 3,000 calories around noon.

 

Landmark Buffet along Suk Road is good one. So is Rang Mahal Indian. Here in Chiang Mai, The Shangri La looks good.

 

I think of brunch as a dating thing -as in having it the morning after if I got lucky.

 

So far, I haven't seen edible French Toast in Thailand. New Orleans -that's a French Toast town.

[GammaGlobulin]

Munch on this brunch, for example:

 

HK Peninsula used to be the best.  Now, maybe nothing more than a franchise. Still, OK.  

 

 

 

 

 

[LaosLover]

.....Then again, for 1,500 baht a head, you can also do pretty well in an upscale restaurant just having whatever you want.

 

A hotel buffet is more about choosing from 30 cakes. It's great to take first timers to, tho.

Excellent 

[GammaGlobulin]

You know, these days, when I look at all the people eating beautifully presented scrumptious brunches in Hong Kong, I cannot help but recall one of my favorite Hollywood films, The World of Suzie Wong.

 

Those were the good old days, when nobody cared that much about food presentation.

I always have Sherry Flip at home.

Once they reheat the roast beef in its own gravy, a British pub is dead to me.

[Orinoco]

Just started doing Sunday roasts myself again here in Isan.

forgot how nice it was, a welcome change from Thai food once a week.

also occasional Pizza mid week, all cooked at home.

 

[ThailandRyan]

Why brunch, just make it all into one meal. Then throw a fried egg on top.

Brunch is for western women with time on their hands.

 

As for Sunday, I'm not a believer, and I don't live in a Christian country, so it means nothing to me, it's just another day, Lazada still deliver.

Only go for a brown ale. Brits can do a brown ale best. Food they dont do well.

Yes, I am not a believer, also, either.

 

But, do you actually believe that Lazada can deliver this?:

 

 

Or, this?

 

 

Normally, I would not torture myself by posting photos of food when I am so hungry.

 

However, sometimes on Sundays, it's seen as being righteous to become a glutton for punishment.

 

And, it's only through denial of one's corporeal desires that one attains true madness.

 

I really doubt that anyone here in Thailand can offer up an offering such as either one of these two sandwiches.

 

And no good brunch should be without both.

 

Thai food is the equal of anything you can find anywhere in this world.  Yet, sometimes, after many decades, one's mouth drools for the unhealthy food of the USA.

 

Still, and I can tell you that, just a few days in the USA, and you would feel completely satiated, and even stuffed to the gills with American food.

 

It is really only Asian food that I cannot do without.

American food, in my opinion, can get stuffed.

In Manhattan, brunch means getting stuck eating with another dead wood couple or two that your wife or GF roped you into.

 

Also, Prosecco and orange juice is just a terrible idea. Partic with a rich egg dish.

[GammaGlobulin]

When I say that I am often hungry on a Sunday, I do not mean that I am lacking calories, protein or vitamins. 

 

I just mean that I am hungry in some indefinable way. 

 

I can only describe my ill-defined hunger as similar to what you might feel if you were floating above an infinitely long smorgasbord of the tastiest delights, having found not even one worth the tasting. 

 

I don't mean to imply by this that I find Sundays and roast beef depressing, much. 

 

It's just that I am hungry for something more than I see on the buffet. 

 

Sometimes I feel that, the more I have, the less the having of what I have seems completely worth having. 

 

Recently, I have been tracking the super-yacht, Nord. 

 

The Nord is still out at sea, maybe, and such a great mystery. . 

 

What a magnificent vessel. 

 

If I were the owner of the Nord, I would no longer be hungry. I would sail around the world, forever. 

 

I'd catch bluefin tuna and eat mostly sashimi for the rest of my life. 

 

Could anyone, under such circumstances, ever feel hungry, again?

I have brunch everyday. I'm retired and don't have to get up at 6 am any more, thank the deity.

I go to bed early and get up at dawn, best time of the day IMHO.

Fine for those that are early birds, but I'm a night owl and go to bed well past midnight.
