The finest dining-table spreads can vary greatly in their content. They may display bottles of juicy or batches of pre-made , sizeable stacks of crumbly cheese or loaves of rustic soda bread, herby dips from the Levant or just a few ramekins of clear olive oil, but they’re all united by a central arrangement of show-stopping aged meat.
