PAPHOS BLACK OLIVE DELIGHT

8 large black olives, stoned
Sea salt

Charcoal grill the olives on a skewer until spitting hot.
Remove from the grill and sprinkle liberally with salt.

Place 3, 5 or 8 hot olives in the mouth.  The resulting explosion clears the head.

Follow this with a glass of ouzo and continue your journey to Aphrodite with clarity.
