National Buffet Day

National Buffet Day was created for true food connoisseurs. Agree, there is not a single person who would not want to see such a diverse selection every morning! Today, you should definitely enjoy delicious foods, even if you are on a diet.

History

Traditions came to us from Scandinavia. Cold winters forced the population to stock up: people dried meat, fish, made various snacks, pickles … The Swedes in the 15th century created “brannvinsbord” – a snack table offered before serving main courses. Usually it was bread, cheese, meat and fish products, all this was supplemented with herbal tinctures with vodka. Later, the custom took on a different form – the tables were beautifully decorated with flowers and various cauldrons with dishes were placed. Food was usually stacked on slices of bread – perhaps the sandwich aesthetic came about at that time.

Later “Buffet” became popular with the nobility, and in the 20th century it was actively used in restaurants. Now the policy of many hotels is based on it. And it’s really practical: all dishes are prepared and waiting for guests. Each visitor chooses what he wants and puts on his plate. The variety of food is another big plus. Not surprisingly, an entire National Day is dedicated to him.
