Texas A&M to Offer Charcuterie Making Class in Fall

At the request of students and faculty, Texas A&M University has announced that they will offer a charcuterie making course starting next semester. This is not the first food-based class that has proven popular at the university, as Texas BBQ (ANSC 117) and Viticulture (HORT 420) have consistently filled up.  However, this class will be the first to offer an academic environment consisting of cured meats and cheese.

“I cannot wait to enroll in the new charcuterie class!” senior philosophy major Abby Frasier said in a statement to The Mugdown. “All this time, I’ve been wondering how to stack cheese and dried fruit on a wooden board, but now I can pay three grand for the class and learn how. I could graduate in four years, but why would I when I can enroll in this?”

Unfortunately, the university has announced that the class will have a limited enrollment in order to keep the overhead of the class low, but those interested are encouraged to register.  Blinn College is likely to follow suit in order to accommodate for university overflow.  However, students should know that an active social media presence is a prerequisite for the new class, as the school has deemed it impossible to construct a charcuterie board without sharing it.
