you may have heard the term "Shark Coochie Board" floating around on the internet lately, and have been wondering what in the world that means! Shark coochie board is a mispronunciation of "charcuterie board" (pronounced shaar·koo·tr·ee board)

Appetizers are the perfect way to get your guests excited for what's coming next, and a charcuterie board is an easy centerpiece that can be made by anyone. A great selection of meats paired with some cheeses makes this dish not only filling but also visually stunning! The easiest move, if you don’t want to be bothered with getting separate cheese knives, is getting an all-in-one set that comes with both, so the only thing you’ll have to add is the veggies and cheese. Of course if you’re looking to fancy up an outdoor picnic, you’ll want a tiny, portable cheese board. Oversized boards are great when you have friends over since they can act as the literal centerpiece of your gathering.

However, there are many modern takes on the classic charcuterie board, and they often include other appetizer items. Nuts & Seeds:almonds, peanuts, cashews, pecans, shelled pistachios, walnuts, marcona almonds, candied nuts, chocolate covered nuts, pumpkin seeds, pastel candy coated Jordan almonds, pomegranate seeds (which have a great jewel tone for holiday jarcuterie!) Hardwoods provide a wonderful selection of grain patterns, colour variations, and textures, The cutting boards crafted from hardwood will have variations in colour and grain in each strip used to create the cutting board. Because no two trees are exactly alike the colour of the wood strips within the cutting board may vary from light to dark. The picture and letters might be darker or lighter than in the picture shown.

SHARK COOCHIE BOARD, Uhhh I mean Charcuterie Board! Simple and comical, yet elegant! Your kitchen and your best friend's kitchen needs one of these!

Generally, I like to include at least one item from each of the categories below and top it with one little sweet as a dessert. (Except for the dips, those are for building a veggie or fruit jarcuterie for grazing.) In the next section, I’ll go over the best way to put all the ingredients together in a jar so they stand up and look pretty too. But here is a general list to use as a shopping guide for inspiration. Therefore every board is unique and inevitably they differ slightly in terms of finish and appearance. I originally made this Shark-Cuterie board for The Food Network to celebrate Shark Week, but it’s great as an un-brie-lievably cute summer-themed or beach-themed “choochie” board throughout the year. Here is what you need to make a Charcuterie Board. Don’t overthink the process. A rectangular or circular wooden cutting board or wooden turntable will work in creating this fun party idea.

Dips: hummus, baba ganoush, ranch, yogurt dip,tzatziki, white bean dip, cheese dip, guacamole, artichoke dip, olive tapenade, roasted beet hummus The board comes with the funny phrase as per product photos plus your name or names. You can add the date as well if needed. As for the history of charcuterie, the Food Lover’s Companion says, “Taken from the term cuiseur de chair, meaning “cooker of meat,” charcuterie has been considered a French culinary art at least since the 15th century. It refers to pork specialties … which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie.” What’s a “coochie” board? We all know that “charcuterie” can be a bit of a mouthful, and the Internet never disappoints. Some people pronounce it “charcoochie”, so of course the “shark-coochie” meme was born and this is the cheese board to go along with it! Due to the natural beauty of the wood grain, there may be slight color variations in each finished product.
