What's it called where different food is served all together (no separate plates)

[LavenderAskew]

I'm sure there's a name for it. Everything is just squished together regardless of what it is.

Someone tell me before I go insane!!

A grazing table?

[Emmelina]

Charcuterie.

[emmathedilemma]

grazing table aka a buffet without serving plates.

[Makinglists]

A la russe or something similar. Russian style I think it was a victorian and earlier style

[IHateWasps]

Smorgasbord?

[HopeYourHighHorseBucks]

The floor after my toddlers finished?


Grazing board/table and I hate them. I don't mind a little one for myself but have seen too many dirty bastards at a buffet to trust it remains clean.

Really gross?

[VeronicaVanHoopen]

In a hotel/restaurant it would be called plated service I think.

[Joxster]

Buddha bowl?

[WelcomeEverythingIsFine]

Mezze??

[CathyorClaire]

A dog's dinner?

[IncompleteSenten]

Do you mean different dishes on plates all next to each other like tapas or a buffet?

Or do you mean everything on one massive 6 foot plate?

[AlexaShutUp]

My vote is for smorgasbord.

[Oddbutnotodd]

Buffet

[breakdown19]

Tapas

[halcyondays]

Rank?

[blitzen]

Platter?

[PuppyMonkey]

Stew?

[TooTiredForAdventure]

Buffet?

Smørgåsbord?

[YouCantTourniquetTheTaint]

I low-key want to know if any of these are correct

[BarbaraofSeville]

I think the OP is asking about a grazing table.

Some of them look quite nice in the photographs, but you just know that it will look like a dog's dinner once people start digging in.

[TheYearOfSmallThings]

A trough?

[TenPenceMix]

Soup

[MsWalterMitty]

A normal dinner plate?
