Wikipedia
A buffet is a meal-serving system where patrons serve themselves. It is a popular method of feeding large numbers of people with minimal staff.The term is also used to describe a sideboard, an antique form of furniture which was sometimes used to offer the dishes of a buffet meal to guests, in private homes.One form of buffet is to have a line of food serving stalls and foods and customers take food they require as they walk along and pay at the end. This form is most commonly seen in cafeterias. Another form known as the "all you can eat" buffet has a set fee and customers can help themselves to as much food as they wish to eat. This form is found often in restaurants, especially in hotels. Another form is the Sweden Swedish Smorgasbord. In North America, buffets specializing in Chinese cuisine are common, as are ones for other ethnic foods.Buffets are effective for serving large numbers of people. They are also popular in that they give customers a great deal of choice and the ability to closely inspect food before selecting it. Since a buffet involves people serving themselves, it is generally viewed as a less elegant form of dining.A buffet car is a passenger car of a train, where snacks and drinks can be bought at a counter and consumed. Typically it is not allowed to consume brought-along food and drinks in this car. Compare Dining_car#Dining_cardining car.
