Banquets
Banquets have been a venue for amusement, entertainment or pleasure since ancient times,[1] continuing into the modern era.[2] until the 21st century when they are still being used for many of their original purposes to impress visitors, especially important ones; to show hospitality; as an occasion to showcase supporting entertainments such as music or dancing, or both. They were an integral part of court entertainments and helped entertainers develop their skills. They are also important components of celebrations such as coronations, weddings, birthdays civic or political achievements, military engagements or victories as well as religious obligations, one of the most famous being the Banqueting House, Whitehall ↗ in London.[3][4] In modern times, banquets are available privately, or commercially in restaurants, sometimes combined with a dramatic performance in dinner theaters.[5] Cooking by professional chefs has also become a form of entertainment as part of global competitions such as the Bocuse d'Or.[6]
