Charcuterie boards have become all the rage with parties and entertaining in recent years. While they originated in France and traditionally consist of meat products such as bacon, salami, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, pates, and confit, they have become far more 'Americanized' and creative. You can create charcuterie boards with any type of foods/themes.
Charcuterie boards are easy to make as there is no set pattern that you have to use to create a board, it is entirely up to your discretion of the design, foods to incorporate and the amount of each item that you want to include.
