To pick one word that no-one ever uses in real life is a bit odd, but to combine two is just ridiculous. The rules of travel writing hackery dictate that “veritable” and “smorgasbord” can never be used independently of each other.
They also tend to be used by people that don’t appear to know what either word means. Perhaps to indicate a large amount rather than a wide variety, or maybe tautologously – as in “the breakfast at my Scandinavian hotel truly was a veritable smorgasbord.”

Ah, you’ve finally picked one that I can honestly say I have never used in print. It’s quite awful, isn’t it? A veritable smorgasbord of awfulness.
