$30 Charcuterie Board vs $130 Charcuterie Board | But Cheaper

i think charcuterie reports are associated with two things an 86 wallet and the benefit being a large assortment of food but i think you can still have that large assortment that fits within just about anyone's budget that is charcuterie but cheaper [Music] so [Music] okay so today we're working with charcuterie boards meat and cheese boards cured meatboards with the board boards usually whenever i personally make a charcoal reward and i'm going all out some of the stuff i'll make and obviously some of the cured meats that you know or take literal months i've yet to make my own prosciutto but uh that's that's coming trust me typically i end up spending anywhere between 100 to 300 for a giant spread and that's to feed a lot of people for the record but still i think at this point the assumption is that is a requirement if you want to make a charcuterie board and i'm here to tell you that that's just not true so with all that said let's make this shall we okay so we're first gonna break this down into categories meat cheese crunch pickle slash briny and sweet slash fruity let's first start with cheese for the more expensive side we've got gouda or ghauda for those who are dutch and are going to yell at me brie classic triple creme now this is tome right this is a french cheese it is made with goat's milk it's beautiful and it's expensive now on the cheaper side we're not really downgrading all that much you've got a beautiful block of cheddar this is a medium cheddar it's lightly aged this is a lightly aged gouda or chowda so you've got your herbed havarti i've already used the cheese where it's texture and flavor goes a long way with how much it costs and cream cheese which i understand you're like what is that doing on a cheeseboard we're gonna we're gonna be doing something fancy to it so with that said let's move on to the next part oh and one last cheese which is uh blue cheese yeah and uh you know i know a lot of people get mad at me for this and you know i just you see yeti for me and i don't like it okay and i know i'll be like josh so uncultured you don't like this moldy nasty farty stinky poopy cheese fart look i like stinky cheese as much as the next guy this just tastes like a stiff sock okay not good now let's talk about meats for the expensive board you might choose something like a nice genoa salami calabresi some aged prosciutto which all start at quite the price as you can see they're amazing and i would pay that but if you want a cheaper counterpart i think we can still have all those nice salty cured flavors and that can be acquired with some decent sliced ham or some mortadella and you've got versatility both in texture and flavor between those two and you can also control that cost by ordering at the deli counter now although not the same a nice summer sausage could take the place of the salami as a potentially cheaper option since you'd buy the whole thing and slice it to your liking now for the pickley briny part sure we can do some olives which you could go ultra expensive with castle vetraranos which i marinate in an infused olive oil i'm sorry i'm trying not to flex so much it's just culinary so vast and beautiful and i just wanna i just wanna show you all you could also go much cheaper with bulk deli marinated olives now for a pickle while cornichons are lovely to eat and look at they do get a bit more expensive especially if they're the nice kind the cheaper option would be to make your own pickles for a simple pickled onion just snag yourself a nice plump red onion slice it thinly and beautifully like so place all that in a 1 quart mason jar or any large container that isn't metal separately in a medium sized pot add 2 cups or 480 milliliters of white vinegar 1 cup or 240 milliliters of water and 2 tablespoons or 25 grams of kosher salt bring that up to a boil over medium-high heat then as soon as it hits a boil immediately take it off the heat and pour it over your onions it should just about cover the onions i also like to use some plastic wrap to adhere to the surface of the liquid to keep everything submerged then just let that bad boy rest at room temp until completely cool let's turn a lovely little pink color then store that bad boy in the fridge or you know use it okay crunch is one of the most important elements to any cheese board in my opinion nuts are an obvious option those can sit with pistachios candied nuts or even some fancy olive oil crackers which get extremely pricey now a cheaper option for your nut you knew was gonna happen would be just simple toasted peanuts which in my opinion worked just fine on a cheeseboard although they're not my top choice now for an intensely delicious and cheaper option i'd also recommend getting yourself a baguette and slicing it into rounds place it on a baking sheet and toss it in the oven around 375 till nice and toasted pull those bad boys out get a clove of garlic slice it in half to expose a fresh cut edge then rub that end all over each slice of the bread you're perfuming it then get yourself a tomato slice that in half and do the exact same thing just like scrub it all over there you know and it sounds weird trust me you're essentially getting a really lovely garlicky tomato toast that's deep and rich in flavor but not destructive on the wall last but not least is the fruity and sweet components now this could be in the form of a beautiful chunk of honeycomb which although beautiful and delicious this thing cost me like 15 alone personally i think a nice jam ideally homemade will fit nicely with any cheese board and i do have a recipe here both on my youtube and my tik tok sorry for the plug now look i like expensive bougie fruits on my charcuterie board so these lovely little champagne grapes are great but they're also well expensive if you want to keep that price low i'd really recommend hitting up the apple section not like iphones but getting yourself some granny smith apples they do two things they add a little crunch and they add a beautiful tart sweetness to your board now the last thing we need to figure out is this cream cheese situation you could serve it as is but you know for one ugly for two i personally think a nice little habanero serrano gas streak would fit beautifully on there it's easier than you think simply combine one cup or 225 grams of granulated sugar and one cup or 240 milliliters of water in a small pot bring that to a boil over high heat and let that boil until it becomes a little bit syrupy should look like this about five minutes separately thinly slice two habanero chilies one serrano chili thinly slice a shallot over a mandolin once your mixture is ready let it cool for three minutes then pour your gastric over your vegetables hit it with some fresh cracked black pepper and let it sit until completely cool it's sour sweet aromatic and lightly spicy and it goes shockingly well with cheese or really anything now at this point i think we can go ahead and assemble our boards the goal is to arrange the things that go the best together closest to each other if that makes sense but of course it gets a little bit cramped so just let everything fall naturally into place honestly everything should go well together here keep wiggling and maneuvering until your little man is nice and ready to go you'll know when it's done the board will call out to you now serve this to your guest toss an ice cube in your chardonnay that's a joke for all the moms out there and let's see if this affordable board can hold up a candle we have mr expensive right here coming in at this price and then we have mr cheap coming in at this price it's a spicy meatball of a difference sure you could probably pick out which is the cheaper one because you can see a block of cream cheese on here but in terms of how voluminous it is and visually it's a big thumbs up times two these are normally a choose your own adventure the point is to mix and match sweet salty crunchy fatty get a little bit of everything cracker little piece of gouda it's pronounced oh and i'll get a little bit of this honey and then maybe you win pistachio nut it's almost exactly the same as when you're watching star wars and people are in the cockpit and then they go on hyper speed they're like because it hits like all of your senses in your dopamine receptors like on to the cheap one cream cheese we topped it with a chili gastrique that's pretty culinary full flexion right there that experience alone is wonderful we got our tomato toast little piece of mortadella on there do a little cheddar that's a good vibe the depth of flavor in this is insane it has a sense of nobility to it almost even if you are a fancy person this has a complex flavor this has complex textures if anybody cheaper i don't know what the hail is okay so if you don't want to spend like over a hundred dollars this is the way to go but you want to know what else is covered with cheese sticky stuff and all sorts of random things from across the supermarket b-roll [Music] all right guys and that is it so we made two charcuterie boards one that was very affordable for this price and one that was much more expensive for this price now they're both equally desirable in their own way like i could definitely see a moment where maybe i want the cheaper one over the more expensive one if i want something a little more relaxed and less like you know the point is is i didn't need a ton of money to make that beautiful thing happen you just need a little bit of patience a little bit of love and a good old noggin i hope this one is helpful for a lot of people i know a lot of college students out there want to have their shark coochie board and sit back and enjoy and here you go that's a very relevant meme right now so with all that said if you enjoyed this video or you learned something leave a like
