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?

Charcuterie.

grazing table aka a buffet without serving plates.

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

Smorgasbord?

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?

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

Buddha bowl?

Mezze??

A dog's dinner?

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?

My vote is for smorgasbord.

Buffet

Tapas

Rank?

Really gross?

That's the one.

Platter?

Stew?

Buffet?

Smørgåsbord?

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

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.

A trough?

Soup

A normal dinner plate?
