I catered a bachelorette party today and it was my first time making a charcuterie board. I used your techniques and the ladies loved it!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations 🎉

[@padington719]

No the french word charcuterie dont mean thé art to assemblats charcuterie with crackers ans bullshit , the french word charcuterie mean délicatessen , it Can be a good Idea to have charcuterie on your charcuterie board ,bullshits that Can not be called a cheese with crackers is not charcuterie , the charcuterie is porc and only porc , and Youn Nevers put olive with porc , méditerranéen good with North euro food ? My god , open a plastic box with 3 saucissons and over ? After its si funny to sée thé english speakers discover what was inventéd n'y thé celtics 2500 years ago and exported everuwhere in thé roman Empire ..yes thé white hal and thé modern charcuterie is a Gaulles celtics invention , 1000/500 before JC

[@padington719]

Chair ... Flesh in french ... Charcuterie ... Only for porc , WE are using thé fruits of septembre and octobre Like nuts apple grappes for thé cheese , not the porc ... Cornichon with charcuterie but no olive baby ... A fucking mix with no taste , no identity , thé chinese understand definitively thé french food more faster than You.. ..

[@padington719]

Charcuterie is a lot of éléments , saussage is not saucisson and its not an andouille ... Thé pâté , thé mousse and the Big number of speciality, and You have to eat the fruits of thé end of thé summer ... With a cow cheese, strong... An epoisse or a langre... I not understand why the chinese and japanese are understanding all in leSS than 10 years but never thé english speakers , usa , thé occidental culture , with no one Idea of what are the occidental basics

[@wolfhaven9312]

​​@@padington719 dude, lets not be picky. I've been to book club meetings where these were a staple along with the merlot. Those folks were not picky. In the words of a wise man, if you are a connoisseur of Kirschner bologna and iceberg lettuce, you in like Flynn. Never saw any jaded "coffee house" literary critic turn down a cheese board. I am not a fan of the fancy stuff but one of the oldest addages is that if its gratis, grab it! Let's let the good people enjoy.
