Pretty sure the ingredients of a $60 charcuterie board are way higher quality than the content of a pack of lunchables, though.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

This just proves that highly processed food addiction turns the brain and taste receptors to useless trash.
I know people that are literally addicted to processed trash. They literally hate the taste of everything that is remotely natural.
don't do that chorizo like that it looks great
Original poster doesn't know a good deal on iberico ham when it slaps him in the face.
to get a good deal you have to buy a whole leg, so it's more of a bludgeoning than a slap.

Only the finest bologna is served here at ché lunchablés
"Lunchables" made in France
...but with more variety and less processed ingredients and better taste and less calories and less sodium and less lead and-
Better taste maybe, but fewer calories and salt than ... cheese and sausage?
I'm talking overall, including things like their crackers, and relative to weight, in terms of if you were to eat a similar amount of food off a charcuterie board.
Regardless, lunchables tend to have highly processed cheese and meat that has a lot of saturated fat, added sugars, and yes, a lot of added sodium. About 33% of your daily sodium in a tiny pack with 3 few millimeter thick slices of meat, 3 of the same of cheese, and 3 (small) crackers.
That same pack also contains 35% of your max total daily intake of saturated fat, in just 250 calories, which is over two and a half times the daily max recommended rate of saturated fat compared to calories.
I do think that lunchables tends to have lower fat content relative to other meats, like hard sausages, salami, or prosciutto, but a higher sodium content relative to them. The overall lunchables sets tend to have more calories than their respective weights in other foods often found on charcuterie boards.
And less plastic
Only one country could think there is a similarity between lunchable and a charcuterie/cheese plate 😆
thats not much of a plate though, i'd expect something more like this

Even the cheapest Prosciutto is light-years ahead of whatever the fuck that Lunchables meat is made out of.

Those sausages look Spanish, not French; they're Castilian chorizo and Serrano ham.

In some restaurants in Spain, for €60 you'd get something slightly larger, but not much more. You can find cheaper places, but the products are expensive, and if they're good quality, they don't give them away.
Sorry, but nobody calls it Chorizo de Castilla, because there are two regions in Spain that start with Castilla (Castilla-la Mancha and Castilla Y León). Hence, queso manchego or Cecina de León. I would say that, by the looks of the pink color, the ham is probably a type of prosciutto crudo from Italy. The pepperoncini next it would not be served anywhere in Spain, but they are a staple in Italy, so I'm leaning towards an Italian influence, although the cheese on the right looks more French, but I can't say for certain.
Typically in Spain you'd get a ración, which is a single item on a plate (like jamón or chorizo ibérico). That way you only get what you ordered, and not extra filler items.
Also, I googled the image, and seems to be from a restaurant in Florida, so each item could be from a different country, and my whole argument is pointless.
Good points and that chorizo looks tasty as hell. But the French reference was referring to it being called a "charcuterie" board.

What are lunchables
Processed cheese, ham and crackers in a little box.
Cute
It's an unholy testament to the hubris of man, and an affront to the very concepts of 'meat' and 'cheese' - but yes, also kinda cute ☺️
My new headcanon is now that this is what aliens say, as a meme, whenever they see a human do anything they don't understand.

Not a fan of the cheese to ham ratio
Agreed, there needs to much more cheese
Not the kind of cheese they put in these though
US-Americans and Canadians are weird for putting crackers instead of bread.
Crackers are a type of bread!
And they're more on theme for being more heavily processed than your standard HIGH QUALITY breads. Ick
That really depends on what kind of cracker you're talking about. I was thinking more, like, saltines. Which is just unleavened bread pretty much.
Haha fair enough, I was just being dramatic! Love me some tasty breads
