Bavarian platter

My comment:

Those who know what exactly this is (a small meal consisting of meat,cheese,butter and bread ) will be naturally inclined to go into detailed descriptions, but let's stick to a concise term in English that is often used in eating places in Eastern Europe.

I like the way Claudia put it. And isnt "Brotzeit" a fixed term? How about: Bavarian Brotzeit, Snack Platter "Wilder Kaiser", ... (describe), I guess a customer would like to read and pronounce BROOTSEEYD, while ordering a bavarian meal ^^

cheese and cut meats board

My comment:

This is something you will possibly have to describe, as the nearest we come to it in British English anyway is the "cheese-board", which this certainly is NOT - it is much more extensive, really a light meal in itself, with - eben - cheese and cut meats or liver sausgae. A south German speciality, as I believe.

Here we refer to this as a platter - maybe a lunchtime platter?

Indeed - why not? Then I think the best way out might be "platter of cheese and cut meats" - unless you want to assume the diners (wherever they come from) will know what a "lunchtime platter" is. Though AFAIK, this is more commonly eaten in the evening. Sort of like a traditional German "Abendbrot", for which there is just as much difficulty, unless you call it "supper". Though that can be misleading too...

"Brotzeit" actually is your "tea time" but we want to eat when we're hungry, don't we! I'd prefer BAVARIAN STYLE SNACK PLATTER. Believe me: Men in Germany can eat that stuff at any time of day ... :-)
