Instructions
On a round platter, arrange persimmon slices in an incomplete circle in an overlapping fashion.
Add a layer of large salami, then bread, then cheddar cheese, then prosciutto.
Arrange a layer of gouda cheese, then salami and a final layer of sliced cheese.
Place pear half at bottom of the ring. Cut out small pieces of cheese to make the eyes, beak, and legs. For the black part of the eye, I used a small piece of grape, but an olive would also work. Cut a waddled from sausage.
Arrange remaining ingredients as desired on a food-safe surface surrounding platter. If you don’t have a large platter, a piece of craft paper works well.
