I feel silly for asking this, but what's a strolling dinner? Is it like a buffet (and if so, why don't they just call it a buffet)? Or more like heavy appetizers? Something else? Are there any tables around in case people want to sit?

More like an open house or exhibit opening. Hors d'oeuvres, drinks, that sort of things. Generally no real tables, but you can probably find some chairs around.

Ah, that makes sense. So it's more like hors d'oeuvres that are substantial and varied enough to make a meal?

If you eat enough of 'em! ;-)

Seriously, it varies. Sometimes it's more like appetizers, and sometimes you can load a plate and make a meal out of it.

Who's holding it, and where it's being held, could give you a clue as to what to expect.

Ack, had a nice reply typed and it wouldn't post. Would this be like a progressive dinner?

Visiting from the spec fic side, I was reminded of Douglas Adams's cow in the Restaurant at the End of the Universe...
