salmagundi
Eclectic chopped platter
Salmagundi is a dish of chopped meat, anchovies, eggs, and vegetables, dressed with oil and vinegar—a composed salad of miscellaneous ingredients.
By extension, salmagundi describes any jumbled mixture or medley: The magazine was a salmagundi of poetry, essays, and political commentary.
The word is old-fashioned and literary.
