Germans like to brunch. I like to brunch too 
What is a brunch?
Brunch is somewhere betwen breakfast and lunch. It can last for 5 hours!
Many cafes in Germany offer brunch on Sunday. Brunch often begins at 9am and finishes at 2pm. Brunch in a cafe is an all you can eat event and prices vary from cafe to cafe.
Many Germans also host their own brunch at home. Each gust brings a plate of food to share. In Australia, if you say 'please bring a plate to share', most people will arrive with a PACKET of chips, a PACKET of biscuits and other PROCESSED RUBBISH. Here however, young people can usually cook and apprecite food!

Today my Favourite German and I went brunching
We went to Cafe May, which had various locations in Hamburg. We were there on Friday for a 'SpielAbend' (Games night) and at 12 midnight we received free cake and bread rolls. Better to give things out for free than throw them into the bin 
What? Brunch including juice, cereal, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, cakes, muffins, chocolate, croissants, Franz Broetchen, bread rolls, tomatoes, roasted zuchinni/paprika mix, salmon, boiled eggs with topping, jam, nutella, honey, cheese and fresh fruit.
Oh, and there was METT=raw meat that you spread on bread.....and I.....LIKE IT!
How much? 6.90 Euro. This is a very good price. A McDonalds meal will set you back 6 Euro and you are hungry again after 40 minutes.
Is there brunch in Australia? I have no idea :| Does anyone know? I have only gone out for breakfast in Germany. In Australia, many people live in the suburbs and there are NO good cafes nearby. If there is a half decent cafe, it is in a shopping centre and most likely part of a large franchise chain, therefore the atmosphere isn't all that nice. Or, if there was brunch, everything may be out of a PACKET.
Cultural Differences Observation 1
(related to the whole packet thing mentioned earlier) I have observed/noticed that young Europeans will cook decent food for parties. At a party in Australia, some German girls cooked cakes and 4 different types of salad. At a party here, all guests brought a salad/cake/something they had MADE WITH THEIR OWN HANDS to share. I have not noticed this behaviour in Australians. In Australia, I have noticed that you cook something different (this could be banana cake....) and everyone under 25 is too scared to try it.... *rolls eyes*
Cultural Differences Observation 2
An Australian girl and I have noticed that Europeans are often of 'normal size'. In Australia we believe that there are not that many people of a 'normal' size. We have two large groups: fat and too skinny.
Another nice cafe:
Kaffee Stark. The music is good and not main stream, the place is nice and everyone who is there seems happy
