Smörgåsbord
Smörgåsbord (Swedish: [ˈsmœrɡɔsˌbuːɖ]) is a type of Scandinavian meal,
originating in Sweden, served buffet-style with multiple hot and cold
dishes of various foods on a table.
The Swedish word smörgåsbord consists of the words smörgås (sandwich,
usually open-faced) and bord (table). Smörgås in turn consists of the
words smör (butter, cognate with English smear) and gås. Gås literally
means goose, but later referred to the small pieces of butter that
formed and floated to the surface of cream while it was churned.
