Did you know that in Europe, in olden times, charcutières were part of a guild that only allowed them to sell cooked and cured meat? Behold this little sixteen-minute documentary by Christian Remde detailing the history of charcuterie and all its forms. Spoiler alert: The video ends up being a sort of elaborate advertisement for Kocurek Family Charcuterie in Austin, Texas, and its owners Lawrence and Lee Ann Kocurek. But it’s still full of good info for lovers of the salumi and such.
