Today, our family decided to go to XXX cafeteria for dinner. Once at the restaurant, I found the food on offer to be very generous and eclectic. When eating at a buffet, you can choose your favorite dishes without worrying about other people's eyes. You can also decide on the combination of food on the plate according to your own preferences. The buffet originated in Europe and was originally a pirate way of dining. The pirates were bold and did not like to abide by the complicated dining etiquette of medieval Europe. When they came to a restaurant, the owner of the restaurant placed the food on the table for them to take and eat and drink. At first, people thought this was a very rude and vulgar dining custom; later, as time went by, everyone felt that this way of dining was the freest and most casual, so this way of dining, which originated from pirates, was continued. In modern times, buffets have become a routine mode of European aristocratic buffets; the host prepares a variety of cold dishes, salads, desserts, etc. for guests to take. At that time, buffets did not even have fixed seats, and people could Holding a plate and eating while talking to others, the buffet in this period is more like an interpersonal medium.

In modern times, buffets have become a popular food model around the world. High-end buffet restaurants often provide guests with representative foods from all over the world. For example, the XXX buffet restaurant we visited today provides special dishes from China, Europe, America, Japan, Thailand and other places; thus solving the problem of ordering food in restaurants A question that is difficult to resolve at times. Whether you like hot food, cold food, Chinese food, or Japanese food; there is always something to suit your appetite in the buffet restaurant.

However, although buffets have many advantages, they also have a very serious problem: food waste. In order to save money, some customers tend to ignore their appetite and put too much food on their plates; this behavior can lead to a lot of food being wasted. Although some cafeterias advise customers not to waste food, they are businesses after all; how can they impose mandatory regulations on customers' behavior? Therefore, the phenomenon of food wastage in cafeterias is still very serious. This is a very bad phenomenon. After all, in some poor provinces of our country, there are still many people who are hungry. How many people can be fed and how many children can be fed by this wasted food? No more hunger? Some people who waste food in the buffet are just like Yuan Shu described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! ? Yuan Shu had been arrogant and extravagant in the Huainan area; later, when he was defeated and dying, he couldn't even get a cup of honey water. We should cherish delicious and delicious food and should not waste it wantonly.
