Yes, charcut. was me shortening the word
"charcuterie".  It encompases preserved meats
(prosciutto, salamies, smoked fish, etc.), olives,
pates, caviar, and other foods of that ilk.  It's
usually referred to as "char" in the buying world, but
I couldn't for the life of me remember how to spell
charcuterie in my original message (every iteration I
came up with looked wrong) - so shortened it.

I believe that's short for "charcuterie"-- ie
smallgoods, processed 
meats in general.
