Charcuterie board

Charcuterie board

A charcuterie board is of French origin and typically served as an appetizer on a wooden board or stone slab, either eaten straight from the board itself or portioned onto tableware. In the USA, 'charcuterie' is a misnomer, featuring a selection of preserved foods, especially cured meats or pâtés, as well as cheeses and crackers or bread. Of European origin, 'charcuterie' refers to cold meats (e.g. salami, ham etc.) and the term 'charcuterie board' would not be widely used for a board with cheese, fruit and a small amount of meat as is the case in North America. Instead the term cheese board might be used for a dish with largely cheese or some other descriptive title used for a board with a large variety of different cold foodstuffs.
