The buffet is a festive banquet when all invited guests are drinking and eating while standing. The peculiarity of this type of organization of a festive event is that guests spend more time communicating with each other than drinking and eating. In contrast to the traditional feast, the buffet table is more democratic. Such events are organized when, in a limited time, it is necessary to receive a significant number of guests.

Step 2
The buffet menu consists of a varied assortment of snacks. You can include hot second courses, such as turkey or whole fried pig. Cut the meat into small slices without disturbing the shape of the carcass. This dish is eaten using a snack plate and snack cutlery.
