Reply to comment by FriendoftheDork in [homemade] Charcuterie board, assorted fruit, chips & dips by King_Adrock

So if I go to McDonald's and buy a bun, a burger and some cheese and put it all together in my kitchen I've a homemade burger. Right

If you go to the supermarket and buy bread, cheese, ham, mayo, lettuce etc. and combine it to a sandwich you made a homemade sandwich. If you go to a restaurant and get a finished one you did not.

I never heard of anyone going to a McD to purchase their uncooked bread, meat, cheese to fry it at home, but If they did then yes it would be a homemade MacCheese or something.

I completely agree.

But by that same logic nothing on the board is homemade. Zero ingredients have been combined, nothing had been "made" simply rearranged.

If I went to the shop and bought a loaf of break and placed it on a board that is not homemade.

Making one is arranging one - that's how you make a Charcuterie board, or smörgåsbord, or similar dishes with multiple basic ingredients or dishes. I bet OP even sliced the fruits and vegetables himself, which constitutes preparing a meal.

And as noted, there is no "prepared meal" tag in this subreddit so Homemade is the only one available:

  • [Homemade] - Food you made. This includes food made from scratch, or food assembled from pre-made ingredients.
