Before I knew of the word charcuterie, we just called it a Janessa Plate. Because an assortment of cheeses, meats, nuts, veggies, and fruits was my go-to when I didn’t want to cook for just myself. So I’d make a fancy-ass Lunchable-style snack plate. We still call it a Janessa Plate in our home but outside and around others, it’s referred to as char-cute-erie.
Charcuterie
Is a French term for a branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, such as bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, ballotines, pâtés, and confit, primarily from pork.[1]
Charcuterie is part of the garde manger chef's repertoire. Originally intended as a way to preserve meat before the advent of refrigeration, they are prepared today for their flavors derived from the preservation processes.

It's probably one of the first words you'll learn if you spend any time around Italians, mainly because it will be repeated a lot at every mealtime. Mangia! As you might know, it means 'eat up! '
