I'm thinking that the first looks like a cheese, cut in half, possibly with an ash crust.  The
second, leaning against the pitcher, looks more like a cake or pastry...like a Dutch Baby or some
kind of stone-baked flat loaf... and the third set looks like a selection of different cheeses or
tarts, again with an ash crust.

Only guessing here, though.
