The BEST CHARCUTERIE BOARD that kids and adults will love! Bonus, everything on this delicious snack board was purchased at Trader Joe’s (minus the wheat crackers).
Below you will find out, what is a charcuterie board and how to pronounce charcuterie. Also, amazing ideas and tip for assembling your snack boards.
What is a charcuterie board?
The original charcuterie board was created in France on a wood platter, then filled with an assorted display of cured meats. Surrounding those sliced meats the board was filled with cheese, nuts and crackers.
Plain and simple, a charcuterie board is a snack board filled with an assortment of delectable snacks (primarily meats and cheese).
HOW TO PRONOUNCE CHARCUTERIE (Charcuterie Pronunciation)
I could not say shaar·koo·tr·ee for the longest time. Honestly, this word still tongue ties me from time to time. So, in all honesty we could just call it a snack board, but the word charcuteriedoes sound more elegant.
Literally, do not over think it. The first time assembling a charcuterie board (snack board) I found myself scrambling to feed five hungry kiddos. There was no fancy cheese board purchased, just grabbed my baking pan and filled it with whatever I had left in the fridge and pantry. A few slices of salami, ham, a couple odd pieces of fruits, veggies and cheeses, just keep searching I bet you already have enough to make a charcuterie board right now.
Tips for assembling a Charcuterie Board
A couple reminders while assembling your boards. First, make sure to use little round dishes (ramakins or bowls) for your sauce and seeds. Then, remember not to place crackers or bread next to wet ingredients. Last, but not least, have fun with it. Design your boards however you please. You truly can’t go wrong while assembling yummy foods that you already love.
