Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - cjs - 12-29-2015 I tried something new for our mini-dinner party last night. Instead of a large Charcuterie platter, I made individual plates - I loved doing this way! Here's a picture I took as I was trying it out in the afternoon, but later I tightened everything up on the plate and it looked much better. (then forgot to take a picture ) It certainly solved the problem of placing a large platter for everyone to reach and we all said it was a great way to present the goodies. Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - Mare749 - 12-29-2015 You know, that's a really good idea. Nice plating, but also portion control. Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - cjs - 12-29-2015 AND, and, I just had the greatest idea. I want Roy to make mini-charcuterie boards shaped like this - the size of a salad plate. I'll bet he could sell these sets on Etsy! or one of those. How fun would they be for a dinner party. I like the shape of the top one. He's going to be a busy boy................ Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - losblanos1 - 12-29-2015 By plating it yourself you get to present the charcuterie the way you intend also. A great idea. Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - Cubangirl - 12-29-2015 I like the size and the shape of the top one. Really nice idea. For maximum use though, I think a bit of a lip would be nice, in case anything has a bit of liquid or rolls easily, just my .02. Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - Mare749 - 12-29-2015 I like the top one too! Alina brings up a good point though. A bit of a lip save a meatball from landing on someone's lap or the floor. Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - BarbaraS - 12-29-2015 I see a pattern here... Barbara Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - karyn - 12-29-2015 I'm with Alina as well. Love the top one, and would totally love several of them with a lip! Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - Mare749 - 12-30-2015 Changing my mind already. A lip might ruin the simple yet beautiful design of the round board. Just realized that all the items on your original plate are flat, except for one and whatever that is doesn't look like it would roll off anyway, IMHO. Re: Charcuterie Platter vs. Plate - cjs - 12-30-2015 I'm leaning that way also, Maryann. The round one is foie gras and it wouldn't roll. Thinking about what I put on boards (and looking at my other ones), I don't think it would be needed. But, it is a variation to keep in mind. I'll nag Roy a little ( ) and have him move a couple of these up the 'to do' list.
