Mysterioso


Imagine you have this jar lurking in your kitchen cupboard. After the visual shock wears off and you remember they are figs from your uncle, it's time to decide what to do. Here are the options:

1. When moving house in the next couple of months, pack up with other items of questionable need. Continue to store, chiefly with hopes someone will unwittingly discover the jar of figs and think you are a weirdo. If this happens you will be secretly delighted and encouraged.

2. Wrap up as "gag"gift for office party. Enjoy fake expressions of interest and study faces for signs of confusion. Laugh like evil mastermind.

3. Open the jar and try one. With toasted baguette, crumbled gorgonzola, roasted walnuts, and maybe a drizzle of honey....might be pretty good. The downside would be breaking up the strange gang of misfit food, led by that dangerous thug Vegemite.
