Who says no to the random meat? The surface is largely inconsequential, unless it's shit or uranium or somesuch.

It's a slate.
More accurately it is a Melamine platter. We use this exact type and design in our catering op.
Random? I’m not seeing a 15 kg slab of raw horsemeat, no charred emu leg hanging off the side, no half digested contents of crocodile stomach, no unidentifiable roadkill from somewhere in Georgia (the country, not the state, but the state will do, too), no puréed human back meat, not even so much as a speck of walrus, ostrich, cassowary, kangaroo, or beluga; guess otters, marmot, geese, dog and cat (I don’t like it either, but they did say “random” ffs) don’t count as having meat…
The fuck do you mean, random? That shit’s about as well ordered as the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary, ffs.
Random might not be the right word, can we settle on "anonymous"?
It sounds a bit sinister, sure, but underscores the whole don't-ask-don't-tell nature of the contents of charcuterie nicely.
How about “arbitrarily chosen”?
I was in a punk band called Anonymous Meat. Most of our songs were about masked orgies and charcuterie taste testing.
Given that language is prescriptive, “random” has, at least in regards to colloquial usage, rather lost its dictionary definition of “made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision”. Hell, I use it colloquially, as well. There’s nothing wrong with this usage.
I’m just trying to provide a bit of a humorous comparison between the usages by somewhat demonstrating what the charcuterie might look like if the dictionary definition was to be used, instead.
You had me until you said that Georgia the state is acceptable. Totally shattered my suspension of disbelief.
Pretty sure the state has its fair share of roadkill, just the country
Thinly sliced roadside sun dried leg of pitbull?
True, but the state is still in an unacceptable state 😉
I’ve recently come to realize if you eat everything in a sandwich individually on a board it’s 10x fancier.
100x if you add 3-4 grapes around the edges.
Honestly, life would be improved if people brought everything on fancy wooden planks. I would replace FedEx and UPS in a heartbeat if my stuff arrived like that instead of being spiked onto the ground like a volleyball.
