That's still standard at weddings, but I've only ever heard it called "midnight buffet". It varies a lot, one cousin's wedding it was pizza from the local place down the street, my other cousin in the same family it was a whole nother meal with lobsters, other seafood, and pulled pork - the other half of that wedding was Portuguese pig farmers, hence the seafood and pork. The Portuguese are
very big on the late night food I hear.
I thought about it, and I don't think I use the term biscuits at all. Cookies for sweet things, crackers for savoury. And I probably use the brand name "Premium Plus crackers" before I would say "saltine". And Ritz
only refers to Ritz (the best cracker IMO).
