Viking vexation
12/05/2008 @ 7:01 pm
I was flittering around on Twitter today and noticed a question posted by someone who had just been in Japan (Dr. Beth Meyer), asking why buffets over here are called baiking (viking).
I replied it was because of: buffet > smorgasbord > From Sweden > Land of the Vikings
Dr. Beth then told me she had found a longer (and much more interesting but unsubstantiated) story of the origins of the term here.
Would any of the Japundits like to chime in on this?
