Why it works

Movie night food has to work without looking: cubes of sharp white cheddar and pepper jack, pepperoni and salami, and bowls of popcorn and pretzel crisps. Nothing needs a knife or a second hand.

The sweet half (chocolate-covered pretzels, mini peanut butter cups, red grapes) sits against the salty half, so you keep going back and forth. A crisp lager or a fruity Lambrusco works with both.

Questions

What goes on a movie night charcuterie board?

Cubed cheddar and pepper jack, pepperoni and salami, popcorn, chocolate-covered pretzels, mini peanut butter cups, grapes, honey-roasted peanuts and pretzel crisps.

How do you keep the popcorn crisp?

Serve it in its own bowl on the board, away from the grapes and cheese, and add it last.

What should I drink?

A crisp lager or a slightly sparkling red like Lambrusco. Both handle salty and sweet snacks.
