October has come around again and that means it’s time for one of the Bay Area’s favorite holidays: Halloween. If you are planning a party this year and want to go beyond just dropping dry ice in a punchbowl, try this fun and easy cold cuts skeleton appetizer. All you’ll need to recreate this party platter is a plastic skull from any crafts store, an array of cold cuts, and a couple of green olives. Because we like being extra, we bought our cold cuts from Molinari’s Delicatessen in North Beach, one of San Francisco’s oldest and most beloved delis. Just because it is adorning a hideous plastic skull, doesn’t mean your snacks can’t be high quality. This spooky twist to charcuterie is sure to make this year’s party spread especially memorable.
