Word of the Week: Charcuterie
You may have seen this word on a restaurant menu and thought, “Wow! That sure sounds fancy!” But what does it actually mean?
“Charcuterie” is a French word for a store that sells cold cooked meats and also describes the products sold in those stores (think smoked, cured, and salted meats).
Used in a sentence:
None of my friends knows what charcuterie means, yet they order it anyway every time they see it on a restaurant menu.
Bon appétit!
