On a scale of 1 - 10

I have come to realise this evening, that I could rate my favourite recipes by how quick I am to taste (read: shovel into my mouth), and therefore, how burnt my tongue will be by the time the dish is ready. Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto is certainly up there, along with Delia's Spinach and Ricotta Lasagne. Is this just me, or do I really have the patience of a small child on Christmas Day?

** Incidentally, when I last cooked Delia's lasagne I swapped the Gorgonzola for... Rocquefort! And the Ricotta I swapped for Mascarpone - don't ask me how but it worked!
