smorgasbord
-- An interesting word I just learned from the Geographic magazine article today:
Main Entry: smor·gas·bord
Pronunciation: 'smor-g&s-"bord
Function: noun
Etymology: Swedish smörgåsbord, from smörgås open sandwich + bord table
1 : a luncheon or supper buffet offering a variety of foods and dishes (as hors d'oeuvres, hot and cold meats, smoked and pickled fish, cheeses, salads, and relishes)
2 : an often large heterogeneous mixture : MELANGE
