Charcuterie is a pretty broad subject. There certainly have been aspects of it that have had throwdowns.

One of the problems with charcuterie is that there is not enough time in a normal throw down to get a proper cure done. Some quick cures can be done, but, we typically only have a week.

you guys might have to extend the time limit a little for this one. i think the only topics left are sea vegetation and insects.

Maybe if wbuffness wins a throwdown he can pick it. Then Chris can decide to make a consideration

I've always been very flexible with the Throwdowns. The winner gets to pick the category, and many special exceptions have been made to accommodate them. All the winner has to do is tell me what it is they would like to see done and I try to make it fit however I can.

That said however, sometimes I really don't understand why everyone feels they have to pick an original topic nobody has called before.

Just saying. Since the opportunity for me to say it is now here. Don't try and read anything into it.

Would there really be a bunch of upset people if we did "Pork" again? Does anyone remember the last time they entered the "Pork Throwdown"?

So why are you trying to influence the selection of the Throwdown topics. I sense a conspiracy here...

Taken from the intro for the chapter "Charcuterie and Garde-manger", as printed in "The New Professional Chef" from the Culinary Institute of America...

----------------------------------
In it's strictest interpretation, the term charcuterie refers to items made from the pig. These include sausages, smoked hams, bacon, pates, terrines and head cheeses. Translated from the French, the word literally means "cooked flesh". Garde-manger refers to the kitchens pantry or the larder section, where foods were kept cold. Various preparations completed in this "cold kitchen" came to be known as part of the garde-manger repertoire. Over time, because of the similarities in their products, the seemingly separate areas of charcuterie and garde-manger have become closely joined.

In this chapter, the various responsibilities of the garde-manger and charcuterie kitchen areas and the types of items they produce will be covered. Also discussed will be fundamental techniques for preparing a variety of forcemeats and using them for sausages, terrines, pates, and galantines and the proper methods for brining, curing, and smoking meats and fish.
--------------------------------------

So, as you can see it is a pretty broad subject. It is not limited to cured meats that take long times to prepare, but that is a part of it.

Hope that helped!

Oh, I thought is was mostly cured meats, so we could totally do fresh sausages and terrines and such. I win and I am gonna call sea vegetable terrines!

I can only imagine what would be produced in a Pork Throw Down.
