In what language does smorgasbord mean buttered open faced sandwich table?

The word "smorgasbord" doesn't mean "buttered open-faced sandwich table" in any language.

Here's the breakdown:

* Smorgasbord: This word is of Swedish origin and refers to a buffet-style meal featuring a variety of cold and hot dishes.

* Buttered open-faced sandwich table: This describes a specific type of food item and a way it is served.

While a smorgasbord might include open-faced sandwiches, it's not the sole focus, nor does the word "smorgasbord" itself specifically imply buttered sandwiches.
