This platter has been handed down from generation to generation in Pinky's family. It is often used for Thanksgiving turkeys, Xmas geese, and Easter bunnies. It is the plate on which John the Baptist's head was delivered to Salome. Each Thanksgiving a special dance is performed by a belly dancing friend of Pinky's commemorating that sad historic beheading. A life-sized sugar head surrounded by collard green leaves is presented on the platter to the eldest matriach in the Diablo clan.
