Is a charcuterie board a snack or a meal?
While traditionally, a charcuterie board made with an assortment of meats, cheeses, bread, and accompaniments graced the tables as an appetizer, its evolution into a meal is quite popular.
A charcuterie board can cross into the territory of a meal, especially those made with a balanced selection of proteins, carbs, fruits, and nuts. The answer may hinge on the quantity, variety, and the occasion it’s being served.
A small, simple spread might whet the appetite, while a large, intricate board, abundant enough for guests to graze over for hours, could replace a formal meal altogether.

What are popular foods to serve for Cinco de Mayo?
Popular dishes served during this festive occasion include tantalizing tacos, loaded with savory fillings like carne asada or al pastor, topped with fresh cilantro and onion.
Quesadillas and enchiladas oozing with melted cheese and sauces such as salsa verde or mole are also popular. No Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without a side of fresh guacamole or pico de gallo, which is perfect for crispy tortilla chips for dipping.
For a touch of heat, a bowl of chile con queso makes for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Of course, the sweetness of churros dusted with cinnamon sugar provides a perfect ending to the meal!
