Antipasto Platter #BrunchWeek

I think nearly every culture has a tradition of serving platters of finger foods.  In France this is called Charcuterie.  The Middle Eastern countries call this Meze or Mezze.  Spain calls them Fuente de Entrantes. Russia calls them Zakuski.  Here in the USA we call them Deli Trays and in Italy they are called Antipasto or Antipasti.

All of these contain certain elements.  They all have meats, cheeses and pickled items.  They are meant to be served as first courses but here in the USA we often serve them as light lunches or dinners at cocktail parties.

Today is the last day that I am celebrating Brunch Week.  It has been a great party so far.  There have been tons of recipes and an awesome giveaway from our sponsors.  You can learn all about our sponsors and the items being raffled off to our winners in my Welcome Post.

This awesome event is hosted each year by Terri of Love and Confections.  This year, Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures is lending a hand.  Terri arranged for the sponsors to send each of the bloggers product.  I am showcasing Cento, Cabot Creamery and Michigan Asparagus today.  I received no monetary compensation for this post.  All opinions are strictly my own.

Included on my Antipasto Platter are the Pickled Asparagus that I shared with you on Wednesday.  You will also find some marinated Artichoke Hearts and marinated Roasted Red Peppers that I was sent by Cento and slices of Horseradish Cheddar and Alpine Cheddar from Cabot Creamery.

You will find links to all the other great Brunch recipes at the bottom of this post.  Thank you for joining me this week.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Good luck with the giveaway!!
