A starter for ten .... well, four

Had people over for dinner last night. Subjected them to my new starter. Thought I'd share it with you today as it's super quick and super cool. As far as I know all guests are still alive.

Ok here's what you need (serves 4)

8 ripe figs
Roquefort cheese (or something just as stinky)
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar

It's pretty basic and super quick.

Quarter the figs and divide up onto four plates. Grate cheese onto the figs (you might have to chill the cheese for a bit in the freezer prior to grating otherwise it might clog up). Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar (to taste) on top and Bob's your uncle.

Simple as that.

I might put in for FasterChef.

So here's the joke ...

A shy boy meets a girl at a nightclub and wanted to invite her back to his house. He asks her whether she would like to see his collection of stamps and that she has beautiful eyes ....
"Huh!" snorts the girl. "Philately gets you nowhere."

========================

YOUR STARTING NUMBER TODAY IS ...

32

add 43
divided by 9
times itself
