I felt inspired to try making my very first charcuterie board recently but had to abort mission. As I found out, I can't stand to have salty and sweet (and especially wet and dry) food touch each other. Couldn't get myself to keep going. So I totally gave up and just put the food on plates to be eaten separately. Didn't even bother to arrange it, I was so bummed. It was still a good meal, but I never expected to stumble upon such difficulties. It is very strange, especially since I love eating salty and sweet stuff together. And I absolutely love looking at charcuterie boards!
Did anyone experience something similar?
I'll try again in the future, maybe a board just with salty stuff?

The board is sitting right under the plates!
It looks delicious!
Pfft. Let it touch!
No need to go pro the first attempt!
If at first you don’t succeed try try again.
You can get things likes crackers in between them to make them not touch, or get a board with compartments?
(OCD and neuro spicy here🥲)
Let’s be clear, this isn’t really even an attempt at charcuterie, beyond buying and preparing the ingredients. But it does make a change from all the professional ones we constantly see and it is loosely related to an idea about charcuterie that you may (or may not) have had.
I am now mentally engaged in where you’re going next with this and somewhat interested in what you’ll do for your next attempt. Don’t give up, the components are all there so let your creativity flow and enjoy yourself.
Was it tasty and enjoyable? If so, it was not a failure 😄
