Absolutely this.

Hog head Cheese, good blood sausage, a liver pate, pork rillette

For cheese
Port Salut, aged cheddar, and an parmesan type cheese, forgot the name of it, but it's hard, and flaky, and also a good hot pepper cheese.

My typical board:

Mt. Tam triple cream or Saint Angel
Drunken Goat
Beechers cheese curds

Prosciutto
Pepperoni of some type
Some type of salami (Loukanika, Soppressata, Saucisson Sec)

And I have to have peppered jelly on my board.

love the meats and burrata, but replace the manchego with a cambozola black and gouda that i smoke over post oak.

and i'd add a badass link of boudin that i touched on the smoker and crisped the casing on.

Meats: sirloin from GC, sausage from Doms, pepperoni from Vincent’s meat market the Bronx

Cheese: Brie from a little chateau I had in Gordes, a Gorgonzola a second cousin from Verona sneaks in every year in her luggage, and I love those little cheddar cubes at the salad bar at GC.

LOL. Brie is from Normandy. Maybe St. Marcellin, if you're reaching for a Provencal soft cheese.

Do you not think cheese moves from its place of origin?

It's not that the cheese moved from its place of origin, it has more to do with the production style that migrated and was adopted in different areas.

Brie is produced all over France but, the only products with an AOC for Brie are Brie de Meaux & Brie de Melun.

You could very well have bought a Brie in Provence.

Lots of good suggestions so far. Throw some figs on there too.

I like fruit, grapes, pineapple, blueberries and raspberries.. dried apricots and some nuts, like the garlic and herb cashews and honey roasted almonds. I like pickled carrots, pickled cauliflower and olives. For the cheese, I like Manchego, Champignon Brie with mushrooms, and Peppered Gouda and Feta. For the meats I like Soppressata, Mortadella, and Genoa salami. add a tureen of pate and smoked salmon.


This site has some nice Cheese Board ideas

I like most all cheese but I hate when people try to get fancy with the crackers. I prefer some regular ol ritz crackers.
