Observation of the day

OK, what is it here and the obsession with buffets?  Does anyone have any clues?  Everywhere we go there is the option to have the "buffet".  Now the buffet usually consists of the following: Fried chicken, shredded chicken, canned beetroot, canned pineapple, canned corn, canned beans, mashed potato, cheddar cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce and 50 types of salad dressing.  How much choice does a person actually need when it comes to salad dressing, really?  I will say this however, the buffet option includes dessert and it consists of 6 different types of homemade pies.  Oh my God.  If you come to the USA and are confronted with the choice of a menu item or the buffet, get the buffet just for the dessert.  You will not be disappointed! I promise.
