Okay Shop, hit me with all your best opinions about charcuterie, cheese plates, and low-prep nibbles! I'm dealing with the impending Baking Holiday by giving myself the gift of all-charcuterie dinners until Thursday so I can feel fancy with zero effort, and also stay on top of my #nanowrimo goals 💪
(Shoutout to local pal Harmony for the idea!)
1. Reggiano is the king of cheese.
2. Gruyere is the crown prince.
3. Dubliner brand is the best cheap supermarket cheese.
4. Something soft? I guess so, but nothing too smelly. Brie is ok.
5. Young gouda is better than old.
5. Put something sweet on the board, jelly, honey, whatever.
4. "Melba snack" type crackers are the best supermarket crackers for cheese. Not melba toast, though.
5. Underwood chicken spread makes for a good, cheap, halfassed pate.
