To cut open a vacuum pack of "interesting" looking olives that I bought in an "interesting" world food type store - which then sat in the cupboard for months because they always looked too "interesting" to use up in ordinary dishes.

Anyway, I used them to make a very boring salad more interesting and they were delicious.
