French for Shopping – What Can You Buy in the French Charcuterie?

In this lesson, we learn ten items that you could buy in a French charcuterie, or otherwise known as the delicatessen or pork butcher’s. Although much of the selection centres on cured pork meat, a charcuterie may also provide other meats.
