Charcuterie. Apparently I am very good at putting together a spread of accoutrements with meat and cheese. When you receive a new wooden cutting board for the holidays. You have company coming over. It’s the only thing to do.

According to vocabulary.com, technically, the word charcuterie refers just to the meat. In French, the word literally means “pork-butcher’s shop,” from char cuite, “cooked flesh.” Appetizing.

Yet, they are very popular at parties.
