Reddit mentions of Gourmet Meat & Salami Platter

Are you just doing those meats? What would make it look more attractive is adding some other colors to it. If you have banana leaves, lay those on top of the cutting board; if you can't get your hands on them, just try a really fresh lettuce. Then do some meats, cheeses, some dried fruits, etc. The eye is drawn to different colors and different heights. If you can do this, maybe try putting nuts and chips in a small silver bowl to make it look really elegant, put them in the back, and do the meats laid out in front. Don't overcrowd the platter, it'll look too busy. And keep at least an inch border around the edges so it doesn't look like it's spilling out. Making it look gourmet has just as much to do with the presentation as the accessories. If you have some vintage/old bowls, add those in. It'll be nice to have some other colors as well as giving it a lot of character. And it's a great conversation starter: Oh, I love that bowl! Then you answer very suavely: Why thank you, this is an old family piece from my grandmother. :-) If you're serving cheese, slice some up, and leave the rest of the block there with the cheese knife next to it. If you're doing a wide assortment, be sure to label them! And things look best in odd numbers, mostly 3's! 3 different kinds of meats/chacuterie, 3 different cheeses (preferably from the same family or source: 3 cheddars, or 3 cheeses from a goat, or 3 cheeses from a region), 3 fruits, etc... Sorry it ended up being so long! I hope this helped!

(on the last one, I wouldn't keep the jars, I would probably put in bowls)
