Char [meat -- unless otherwise specified, assumed to be pork] + cut  
[cooked/cured] + erie [an establishment that sells, or the art of, or  
belonging to the genre of, more or less]. A French processed/cured  
pork shop, and the family of products sold therein: ham, bacon,  
sausages, black puddings, cracklings, rendered fat products, etc. As  
opposed to a boucherie, which sells fresh or raw meats.
