Aren’t smorgasbords the best thing ever?
All you can eat buffets: big stacks of clean plates at one end, and a guy with a big white hat carving beef at the other.
In Japan they call them “Viking” style; but it always sounds like “Biking” when they say it.
Argentina has got to have the best ones. Full on Chinese food, not too many salads to pass by, 2 or 3 guys working the meat grill, desserts to die for, and ice cream too! I don’t think they can be beat when you factor in the cheap peso.
My friend got banned from a smorgasbord for peeling the batter off the battered shrimp. That’s a no-no.
Smorgasbord translates into English as “sandwich table“.
It sounds better in Swedish though.
I don’t think I’d get too excited about an “all you can eat sandwich table“.
But…
I think I’m going to start calling sandwiches “smorgs”.
“I’m having a peanut butter and jam smorg for lunch today. Yum!”

Peeling the batter off the battered shrimp? I always do that!
Maybe they thought he was leaving the batter to take home haha

Smorg is a brilliant word. I may copy you!

I agree with S. Le that you may have started something here. Sandwich 2.0 = The Smorg!
