Here's another one from the Land of Food Funnies from Rosemary
Zwick of Cape Town, South Africa:

Did you hear about the cannibal who arrived late to the dinner party?
They gave him the cold shoulder.

Here is an old-fashioned Southern dish that is often served with
drinks, but it makes a quick and easy first course as well.

Beer Cheese

1-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped and mashed
1 cup (250 ml) beer
1 Tbs (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) hot sauce, or to taste
1 tsp (5 ml) dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 lb (450 g) sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Whisk together the garlic, beer, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce,
mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the cheese 1 cup (250 ml) at a time
and beat until smooth. Pack into a 2-cup bowl or crock, cover with
plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Serve with crackers.
Serves 6 to 8.
