SUMMARY: Charcuterie, the French tradition of serving an array of cold meats and accompaniments, was initially a prelude to meals but has become a versatile dining option, fit for any meal or even as the main dish. Custom-made boards, crafted from materials like wood, slate, or marble, are used for presentation. An ideal board might be modest in size but is often personalized, like a carefully sanded and varnished mahogany piece. The contents typically include a variety of meats, cheeses, and garnishes such as fruit and bread; however, there is leeway for creativity. Popular selections can be found at specialized stores or delis, and arranging the board can follow any desired theme to enhance the dining experience.

SUMMARY: Bacon, dating back to 1500 BCE, originated with the Chinese salting pork belly, later embraced by the Romans and spread throughout medieval Europe. It preserves pork through smoking, enhancing its flavor, which is primarily due to its fat content. Globally, bacon has various names, such as “rasher” in the UK and “speck” in Italy. Its versatility is evident in dishes like bacon sandwiches, breakfast combos, and vegetable pairings. Commonly smoked with hickory and other woods, bacon can be fried or baked, while different brands, like Benton’s from Tennessee, offer unique flavors. Bacon remains a beloved culinary staple worldwide.
