As my family’s resident charcuterie master (shamelessly elated with that title), I’ve made __so__ many boards. Aside from the standard lineup of grapes, strawberries, cucumbers, and baby carrots, no other grocer’s selection of meats, cheeses, crackers, jams, and other goodies is as great as Trader Joe’s in my humble opinion.
