Oh ok ! Learned something, thanks.
- kasey_junk 9y agoI mean, to be fair you’ll also see antipasto, deli tray, meat & cheese board or even in some German influenced communities “vespers”. But if you say charcuterie you’ll be understood.
- carlmr 9y agoInteresting to see Vesper (pronounced Feshper where I live). That's a distinctly southern German term that not even most Germans will use.
- kasey_junk 9y agoI’ve seen it used mostly in small towns in the Midwest that were strongly German immigrant communities. If you go to the upper Midwest you will similar odd uses of Scandinavian words. It would not surprise me at all to learn that these communities are using archaic or even incorrect words.
- carlmr 9y agoIt's correct and not archaic, it's just something very localized in Germany, which I wouldn't necessarily expect a mixed immigrant community to adopt.
