Charcuterie & Cheese Boards | Basics with Babish

Now slice the board in half and show us that beautiful cross-section

My mother heard me watching this and said “babbling with bingis again?” And I’m in tears

Brain: “but you’re lactose intolerant” Me, downing the entire 60 count of lactose enzymes pills: no I’m not, hand me the platter

I feel like this was a episode just so Babish could flex on us with his expensive meats and cheeses 😂

Super helpful— i never know wtf I’m doing with these boards.

"this stuff smells like slow death"

I’ve had plenty of cheeses and nuts and I still don’t know what “nutty” tastes like

Charcuterie is a fantastic name for a cat.

I just did my video cheese platter video with 4 cheeses and that shit was mad expensive. I know you dropped money for these cheeses. Very nice spread my friend.

I made a board for my girlfriend one night when she was feeling down, I only had access to what I could find at Walmart (plus some fancy jams I happened to have on hand) but I made a kick-ass board and she loved it.

Don't know if this is just a thing of my region (south of Italy), but this is the stuff that we put on the table every lunch and dinner, it's supposed to work as an appetiser before the main dish and/or a second afterwards, then fruit (and and espresso at lunch, occasionally a dessert). I know that some people do, but we seldom prepare a second dish, we just go with pasta or something main-y at lunch and something second-y at dinner, like cutlets or something. Or leftovers. Just thought that I would mention it, in case anybody found it interesting.

I work as a cheesemonger at a beer and cheese shop and always recommend that my customers pre-slice their blocks of cheese when arranging them on a meat and cheese board. As a host, there are few more frustrating experiences than finding some guest has hollowed out your wedge of brie, leaving only the ghostly husk of rind. Also, it keeps the aftermath of your cheese board from looking like a murder scene. And, lastly, prevents waste! You can always slice more midnight moon if that's popular with you guests, but once a wedge of (expensive) cheese has been picked at and prodded for an extended period of time by guests, it's going to be more difficult to salvage what remains.

I think we're supposed to eat the blocks of cheese straight like a chicken wing

bro im poor and have no friends what kinda dinner parties do you think I'm throwing.

I could feel my lower intestine becoming more and more blocked off the longer I watched

But will Kraft singles, hot dog slices and a fist full of Fruity Pebbles do because that's what I have?

Damn. That's like an $800 of deliciousness. My friends don't deserve all that - Velveeta and Saltines ftw. :-P

I can't believe canned nacho cheese didn't make it to the board...

He is just so relaxing He's like the Bob Ross of cooking
