Method
 

  1. On a large platter, cutting board, or even directly on a butcher paper wrapped table, display the charcuterie board elements.Slice cheeses and meats if they don't come pre-sliced.
  2. Shingle them so guests can pick them up one at a time. Arrange all the meats and cheeses, keeping them separated by type.
  3. Then, mix the breads, crackers, and fruit into the remaining space. Feel free to put the salty, briny elements into small bowls to place around the board. Don't forget small tongs or knives and small plates to make it easy to serve. Enjoy!
