The Charcuterie Olympics

Anyone else think that cheese plates and charcuterie spreads should be a competitive sport? I would gleefully watch a reality show devoted to artfully assembling meats, cheeses, crackers and olives under extreme duress. WHERE are my goddamn cornichons? While these communal troughs may be a dicey social proposition until Covid skips town, now is a good time to practice your skills at home--ha, ha. This $30 bamboo cheese board--recommended by Vogue--has all sorts of nooks for nuts, dried fruit and dollops of quince jam. Here's a guide that breaks down the components from Food & Wine and for inspo, check out this Insta from Fig & Honey.
