Clearly not an actual recipe – this is an assembly job that makes for an utterly enjoyable weekend feast with minimal effort, and guarantees that your dog will stick by your side just in case any cheese or meat might come their way. I’ve put a list below of ideas to go on such a platter, but there are no rules here! If you could find it in a deli, fling it on the board and nibble away.

Whatever you feel like, perhaps:
- Cheese. All the cheese. All of your favourite cheese.
- Salamis / cured meats
- Bread
- Crackers
- Olives
- Stuffed peppers
- Pickled peppers
- Hummus
- Chutney
- Grapes
- Pickled anchovies
- Butter
- Crudité
- Taramasalata
- Stuffed vine leaves
