Who invented buffet?

The name of buffet originated in Japan, and the dining form originated from Scandinavian cold food and Hunter breakfast in northern Europe in 8- 1 1 century.

Buffet is a precedent initiated by Imperial Hotel Tokyo in the thirty-third year of Showa, Japan (1958). It puts all the dishes on a table, and guests eat according to their own preferences. This style is very popular.

In medieval Europe, banquets were usually decorated with many foods. In the16th century, the Swedes called the table where the guests provided their own spirits and snacks a buffet table. In the18th century, this method reappeared in France and spread widely throughout Europe. In modern times, the catering industry in western countries civilized and standardized it, and developed the buffet when it appeared.

Extended data:

The form of buffet is no longer limited to western food. Basically, food from all over the world can be used as a buffet dish, and it is becoming more and more common. According to legend, this was the earliest way for pirates to eat at that time, and there are still many cafeterias named after "pirates" around the world.

They asked the restaurant to put all kinds of meals and drinks needed in containers on the table, and then they drank and ate without restraint, and added more after eating. Although this behavior made people feel very impolite at that time, it saved a lot of manpower and material resources because it saved the service desk of customers, which could reduce the use of waiters and reduce the cost of employing people for enterprises. Therefore, this way of self-service dining has quickly become popular in Europe and America.
