The angry looking fish was found just a little over 10 miles from New York City. The Pacu is known for its very wide teeth and incredibly strong jaw muscles, which allow them to crack open all kinds of nuts, even human nuts. Two men from New Guinea actually died from blood loss after a Pacu went to town on their nuts.

It’s difficult to remain a positive thinker when you’re stuck indoors in the middle of winter and, with me being a home worker, it’s doubly so as I don’t go out into the fresh air and walk around as much as I should, relying instead on a bit of exercise via my Wii and fresh air through an occasional trip down the garden to feed the birds or put rubbish in the bin.

This is a nice, easy and cheap addition to your Christmas finger buffet party table!

The dish is said to be enough to provide 26 balls but obviously it’s a bit hit and miss as it depends on how big your balls are!!

If you don’t like walnuts or Stilton you could of course experiment with other nuts and/or crumbly cheese. This is an unusual buffet dish which is ideal for your vegetarian friends – makes a change from bog standard veggie fare!!
