It's 10:30 in the morning and now I'm starving after looking at that site. lol
I always have a charcuterie when entertaining. Typically I'll include a spread cheese (often homemade, cream cheese mixed with pepper relish or peach habanero jam) in a small decorative bowl, a semi-soft cheese wedge (like a stilton with dried fruit), and slices of cheddar, swiss, pepper jack or other favorites, as well as salami and/or summer sausage. I've also included, on occasion, a sliced cold herb-roasted chicken breast or some smoked turkey. To help fill in, I usually add some cashews, dried cranberries, and clusters of grapes. Sometimes, I add a small glass to the tray and fill it with breadsticks. And always good crackers. So easy to do and cheaper than buying one ready-made at the deli. On a side note, the trend in our area is to place the charcuterie on a countertop or side-board covered with brown butcher's paper, rather than using a board. Makes clean-up easier, but there's usually more waste by placing the cheeses, etc. directly on paper, as things stick and wind up being tossed.
Love the ideas and the name of the site is great! Added one of those boards to my 'wish list'. I'd love serving some of these ideas for my family! Thanks Lucie
Great site, TFS Lucie.
Lori, thank you for your ideals on it also.

Spent over an hour last night on that site. I was hungry when I went to bed.
This seems like an appropriate article for this discussion. A very informal way to prepare a tray.https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-low-key-brilliance-of-the-hungarian-snacking-tray?utm_source=pocket-newtab
