I am going to a friend's place for a little holiday gathering, and I was thinking of bringing chopped chicken liver. I won't have time to make it myself, so i was planning on picking it up from a local deli. What should I serve with it? I think those tiny pieces of rye bread or whatever are common, aren't they? Any other accompaniment? Chopped onion? chopped hard boiled egg?

It would nice to be able to put together a platter or something.

You're correct on all counts. Small pieces of rye or black bread, or both. Chopped or sliced red onion. Chopped hard-boiled egg yolks basically as a garnish to decorate the platter.

Also, little pickles or pickle spears are nice. Olives. Tomato wedges, slices or halved grape tomatoes.

Here's a photo of how the Stage Deli presents chopped liver. I'm sure you can do better.

Being that it's Christmas and all, I'd add some chopped green onions and maybe a sprinkle of chopped parsley to give it a touch of bright green, although pickles will help.
