[Sca-cooks] brunch?

[Gretchen R Beck]

But note that the quote goes on to say that the word appeared two years earlier. Whether this is fact or just satire is unknown:

At Oxford, however, two years ago, an important distinction was drawn. The combination-eal,when nearer the usual breakfast hour, is "brunch,", and , when nearer luncheon, is "blunch"

Oops. That's actually the 1896 Punch article (Google Books having once
again given a periodical a different name than that commonly used).

This  1895 reference goes so far as to credit a  specific  originator:

"According to the Lady, to be fashionable nowadays  we  must “brunch.”
Truly an excellent portmanteau word, introduced, by the  way,  last year,
by Mr.
GUY BERINGER, in the now defunct Hunter's  Weekly, and  indicating a
combined
breakfast"
