Stealing from Weissman’s board ideas, I made a gastrique with shallot and dried chiltepin for the cream cheese. The rest is all cheap and cheerful Lidl nibbles.

    Yours has the same definition as mine, and even links to the same page, but then says:

    However, according to food historian Sarah Wassberg Johnson, charcuterie also has its roots in the simple meals that had been eaten by laborers of the working class throughout Europe since the medieval period, often consisting of meats, cheeses, bread, local produce, and wine or beer.

    That’s one I’ve never seen, and the citation is the opinion of a single person without reference. If you Google the definition, you’re going to mostly find that it’s prepared meats, with some places saying the definition has evolved to include other stuff.
