National survey reveals the ideal brunch solution to fit Canadian taste buds<\/b><\/h2>\n

The weekend is a time to lounge, relax and enjoy the activities that our regular 9 \u2013 5 prevents us from partaking in during the week. While some may not want to think about leaving their beds, others don\u2019t hesitate to queue at their favourite brunch spot to enjoy a meal. And it shows \u2014 brunch has seen a meteoric rise with 2019 data showing that the late-morning meal accounts for 186,700,000 of all restaurant occasions. Overall expenditure is up more than $230 million year over year with people from coast to coast spending an average of 35% of their food budget on eating out or on the go \u2014 that\u2019s a lot of hollandaise and bottomless mimosas! <\/span><\/p>\n

CANADIANS WANT IT ALL<\/b><\/h3>\n

On a quest to find the perfect brunch solution to fit all taste buds, TABASCO\u00ae surveyed the population and found that 58% of Canadians typically choose traditional food items for brunch (such as eggs, bacon and baked beans). But when asked to pick a preferred morning indulgence, people nationwide couldn\u2019t make-up their minds and were almost evenly split between sweets (pancakes and waffles), carnivorous fare (anything with meat including sausage, bacon and ham), and more gourmet offerings (such as eggs Benedict, poached eggs, or lox). Surprisingly, only 11% of brunchers opt for vegan or vegetarian options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, those under 55 years of age are significantly more adventurous when it comes to food, having a penchant for a wide variety of breakfast items. Those with a love for the burn and who eat hot sauce with their breakfast are more likely to choose gourmet offerings as well as vegetarian\/vegan options. Fewer than 15% of Canadians admitted to eating carbs like bagels, croissants, donuts and sandwiches, when brunching.<\/span><\/p>\n

GOODBYE CHARCUTERIE BOARDS, HELLO BREAKFAST BOARDS<\/b><\/h3>\n

After analyzing the results of the 2020 brunch report, TABASCO\u00ae, the 150-year-old iconic hot sauce brand, proposes to overhaul Canadians\u2019 hosting habits by creating breakfast boards tailored to please everyone at your kitchen table. Inspired by last year\u2019s trendy cheese and charcuterie boards, the world\u2019s highest selling hot sauce brand is on a mission to simplify entertaining by focusing on the easiest meal to make at home. Serving brunch up on a board makes it a fun-fuss-free way for hosts to impress their guests while offering something for everyone\u2019s unique taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the survey results the team at Tabasco\u00ae<\/span> has created three inspiration boards in line with the diverse taste buds of Canadians.<\/b><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t \n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t
