Clarification request(s) and response
Sandra Holt: 8:44am Apr 22, 2008: María, does this come in a sentence or is it a heading?
María T. Vargas: 9:06am Apr 22, 2008: Sandra, it says: Buffet: 5 tipos de ensalada. No es el menú habitual de un restaurante, sino el menú especial para una cena ofrecida por una empresa británica a sus agentes en España, en un lugar muy exclusivo de Marbella.

A selection of 5 salads
Explanation:
in my experience, "selection" is what you see on menus
