I work as a culinary manager/chef at a nursing home. I was tasked to make mini charcuterie boards for our tour guests and new residents; I was given 15 minutes notice today lol. Considering my PRD is literally ass, I think I threw something nice together.

No ramp?
Those blackberries look massive!
It’s a nice plate. Definitely not a charcuterie board.
This is heartwarming 10/10 effort considering the resources.
It’s a char-CUTE-erie board.
I’d fuck it up. Although I think I’d be tryna hunt down some more crackers or some toasted bread squares or something.
maybe more breads to dip
Very pretty but very small.
I’d love to see a larger scale, I could eat this solo and maybe share with one other person.
Again, this is beautiful but as a practical charcuterie, you’re either making 100 of these for service or only a few. Both are sad.
If it was scaled up to an 8-10 person board, this shit would be a gold mine. Very very skilled work for sure, just the practical restaurant/catering feasibility would hurt.
Edit: I read the description a little late. Not sure how many tour guests you had but 15 min notice is absurd; you fucking killed it and probably made more than a few of these boards. I’ve worked in retirement/independent living homes and the kitchen work there is more intense than anyone would imagine
S’cute
The meat and cheese flowers are really well done!
Given the strict budget and time constraints, I think it looks wonderful and you did an outstanding job. I work for my state’s Medicaid team and part of it is long term care, so I know how hard you and your coworkers work, and I want to thank you. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart: thank you.
It looks so beautiful
I love the way you made the meat and cheese look like flowers of sorts
You just made a work of art op!
It’s a nice offering for a tour or guests. It’s more of a mixed plate, not so much charcuterie. Is that hummus or mustard in the middle? Charcuterie I’d expect 2-3 meats, appropriate accompaniments like pickles, mustards, olives, olive oil and toasted bread. It’s more of a crudite platter with a meat and cheese section – but I’d honestly call it a party plate. Semantics aside it looks great and it’s a perfect offering for a tour, with a bit of everything and not just all heavy meats and cheeses. Nice work! Change the verbiage lol don’t change the actual offering, it’s perfect.
I can’t edit my post, but are we thinking crudite is better verbiage?
I’d eat the shit out of those Bologna roses. I can imagine each layer leaving its own streak of fat on my teeth and having to use my tongue to scrub it off.
I’d happily destroy that. It looks great.

I think it looks nice.
Looks great!
Also, required r/thingsforants charcuterie board for chuckles
Needs ramp
10/10 for 2 or 3 people. Not big enough for a ramp so you get a pass
I like it. I toured nursing homes not too long ago for my mother in law and this would have impressed me.
Maybe consider adding some sort of pickled veg for an acidic component that will help balance out the fat in the cheese and bologna? Overall though I think you did a really nice job, especially given the 15 mins notice and PRD constraints.
I bet it created smiles. It’s adorable!
I’d want more hummus. But I’m also a hummus fiend
im surprised at this point we dont have a r/wherestheramp
It looks beautiful.
The only change I’d make would be switching the triangle lemon slices out for oranges. Purely for eatability and discounting the people who might want to squeeze the lemons onto the cucumber or the meat.
I’m taking a picture so I can re-create it and say it came to me in a dream.
This is a great snack board! (The charcuterie part not so much)
nice presentation, but those tomatoes are hurting not helping
That’s not really a shark coochie board. Not enough meat and cheese.
