When I was in Sweden many years ago I tried smorgasbord for the first time. I liked it so much I wanted to have it again when I returned to Hong Kong. I hunted high and low but could not find a single restaurant that had smorgasbord. If you hunt high and low for something it means you search everywhere for it. As I said in a previous column, I am now staying in my niece’s house in Atlanta. She and her husband often ask what I would like to eat for dinner. Last week she made a charcuterie board. It reminded me of smorgasbord. Smorgasbord is from Sweden. Charcuterie board originated in France.
A smorgasbord consists of a large variety of small hot and cold dishes such as salads, different types of cheese, smoked fish like salmon, cold meats such as ham, and small pieces of hot meat. These small dishes are spread out on a large table for people to choose what they want to eat. It is not like a buffet because a buffet also has large hot dishes. A charcuterie board has similar things as a smorgasbord but does not have hot dishes. Many different types of cold dishes such as ham, pastrami (thin slices of smoked and seasoned beef), different types of cheese, fruit, olives, bread, crackers, and cookies are put on a large wooden board. Many people like to enjoy a charcuterie board with wine. You can see pictures of my niece’s charcuterie board in Popnews.
I don’t have a large appetite and I don’t like large dishes. I also don’t like to eat fast. That’s why I like smorgasbord and charcuterie board because I can choose small things to eat slowly with wine. My niece often makes a charcuterie board when she invites friends to her house. She never puts the same things on her charcuterie board. Hong Kong people should try a charcuterie board when they have guests. It’s easy and they don’t have to cook at home.

多年前我在瑞典的时候，就第一次尝过瑞典式自助餐 smorgasbord。我喜欢到不得了，回到香港后还想再吃。我四处寻猎（hunted high and low），但还是找不到一间有提供瑞典式自助餐（smorgasbord）的餐厅。若你 hunt high and low for something，即是指你到处寻找某事物。正如我在之前一篇文章里所说，我现居亚特兰大我侄女的家中。她和她的丈夫常常问我想吃甚么当晚餐。上星期她就弄了一个熟食冷肉拼盘 charcuterie board，这令我想起了瑞典式自助餐smorgasbord。Smorgasbord来自瑞典，而charcuterie board 则来自法国。
A smorgasbord包含了各式各样的热盘和冷盘小碟，例如沙律、不同种类的芝士、烟熏鱼如三文鱼、冻肉如火腿，以及一些熟肉的小块。这些小碟会摊放在一张大餐桌上，让人可以任意选取自己想吃的。它其实跟一般的自助餐并不一样，因为自助餐会有大盘的热食。Charcuterie board有的食物跟smorgasbord相近，只是没有热盘。许多不同种类的冷盘如火腿、烟熏牛肉薄片（pastrami）、不同种类的芝士、水果、橄榄、面包、薄脆饼干和曲奇会放在一块大木板上。许多人喜欢配以葡萄酒来吃这个熟食冷肉拼盘（charcuterie board），你可以在 Popnews上看到我侄女所弄的熟食冷肉拼盘（charcuterie board）相片。
我食量并不大，也不喜欢大碟的菜式，又不喜欢速食。因此我喜欢这种瑞典式餐前冷菜宴（smorgasbord）以及熟食冷肉拼盘（charcuterie board），因为我可以选择小口的食物，伴着酒慢慢地吃。我侄女邀请朋友到家里来的时候，就常弄这种熟食冷肉拼盘（charcuterie board），但她每一次放上冷肉拼盘（charcuterie board）的食物都不一样。香港人宴客时，好应试试弄一个熟食冷肉拼盘（charcuterie board），它的做法非常简单，在家中也不用开火烹调。
