BANKET

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 320 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BANKET , a
South
 
African
 
mining
 
term
 , applied to the beds of auriferous
conglomerate
 , chiefly occurring in the Witwatersrand gold-
fields
  (see Goan). The name was given to these beds from their resemblance to a sweetmeat, known in Dutch as " banket," resembling almond hard-bake. The word is the same as " banquet," and is derived ultimately from " bank " or " bench," meaning table-feast, hence applied to any delicacy or to various kinds of
confectionery
 , a use now obsolete in
English
 .
