There are endless ways to enjoy and get creative with traditional charcuterie. From a charcuterie bouquet to a charcuterie Airstream, the appetizer can be easily adapted to fun and flavorful variations. But the best bite-size option is a charcuterie stick. Charcuterie sticks take the traditional board and shrink it down to a toothpick, which makes it easy to serve at a socially distanced gathering.
