Smorgasbord

Smorgasbord is an anglification of the Swedish word Smörgåsbord. It is a buffet style table[?] in a restaurant, or at home served at a holiday, prepared with many small dishes. For a fixed amount of money, you are allowed to eat as many of these as you wish. In an extended meaning, it is used to refer to any situation which invites you to select as many as you wish among several pleasant things, such as the smorgasbord of university courses[?], books in a book store[?] etc.

The Swedish word "smörgåsbord" comes from smörgås = sandwich and bord = table. "Smörgås" (sandwich) in turn comes from smör = butter and gås = pieces of butter formed on top of cream when churning butter.
