Line 5
Line 10
A buffet is a system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area where the diners generally serve themselves In a 1922 housekeeping book entitled How to Prepare
and Serve a Meal, Lillian B Lansdown wrote: “The concept of eating a buffet arose in mid
17th century France, when gentleman callers would arrive at the homes of ladies they wanted to woo unexpectedly Their surprise arrival would throw the kitchen staff in to a panic and the only food that could be served was a selection of what was found in the cold room.”
Buffets are offered at various places including hotels and many social events One form
of buffet is to have a table filled with plates containing fixed portions of food; diners select plates containing whichever food items they want This form is most commonly seen in

Line 15
cafeterias The knife is tabooed at the buffet, hence all the food must be such as can be
eaten with fork or spoon Another form, known as the all-you-can-eat buffet, is more
free-form: customers pay a fixed fee and can then help themselves to as much food as they wish
to eat in a single meal This form is found often in restaurants
Buffets are effective for serving large numbers of people at once For this reason, they
are prevalent in institutional settings, such as business conventions or large parties Another advantage of buffets compared to table service is that diners have a great deal of choice and the ability to closely inspect food before selecting it Since a buffet involves diners serving themselves, it has in the past been considered an informal form of dining, less formal than table service
