Gory Gorilla Tonsils

Directions

Wash the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored leaves.

Trim off the stem ends and cut an X into the bottom of each sprout to make sure your tonsils cook nice and tender.

Place the sprouts in a pot containing about 2 inches of water and sprinkle with the salt.

Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until boiling.

After 8 to 10 minutes, carefully stab a few sprouts with a fork to see if they’re tender.

When you can easily pierce them through to their centers, remove the pot from the heat and carefully drain the sprouts in a colander.

Place the grated cheese in a small saucepan and add the milk.

Simmer over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until the cheese melts.

Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the cheese melts.

Arrange a bed of washed lettuce leaves on a platter.

Place the gorilla tonsils in pairs, of course - on the leaves.

Drizzle the melted cheese (pus) over the tonsils.

Sprinkle with paprika (blood specks) and serve.
