banqueta ceremonial dinner party for many people

It’s customary to celebrate Thanksgiving with a banquet, or elaborate feast — along with the requisite bickering between family members.

If you sat down to a banquet in the earliest sense of this word, you’d surely be disappointed. Banquet comes from a French word meaning "bench," and originally a banquet was a small snack — something you could eat while sitting on a bench. If a particular family member isn’t cooperating at your next holiday meal, consider having him dine in this traditional fashion, on a bench somewhere far from the dining room table.
