I got the first taste of dates when I visited a store offering free taste in Dubai…I thought it was a chocolate…when I tasted it … it was not and all of a sudden it tasted to me as…wow big prunes…because of the difference and really tasted sooo good and wow…I finished the tray of dates on the table.After that, anybody coming from the Middle East I ask for the taste of DATES!

Lotsa dates here in Abu Dhabi, but I haven’t tried any. But because of your post, I am going to try one soon. =)

there is a chocolate shop here – Patchi – which sells chocolate covered whole pitted dates that just melts in you mouth! Their product comes from the middle east, so I am sure they are really good dates [Well, with the price, it should be!]

You can try putting a few in a chicken or lamb tajine, or chopping a couple and mixing it with some dried apricots in cous cous

I’m from Cali, but the best dates I’ve had were from Algeria. They’re not hard or a bit dry like the ones for here in Cali. I get to eat them plus local Paki, Indian, Moroccan, Egyptian, Jordanian and of course Algerian cuisine mostly during the breaking of the fast in Ramadan as they invite other people of different faith. Yummmmmmm, you get to love Ramadan for all these blessings.

Hallo Marketman! since you’ll be going to Turkey, you will never miss on the way local shops offering dates and other dried fruits. I would recommend to consider a visit next time to the old city of Marrakech, Morocco. If you will like Turkey, definitely your heart will belong to Marrakech Ãœ I’m sharing you here our link of our Marrakech vacation which included picture of souk selling dates etc.-https://www.tabblo.com/studio/stories/view/1230550/
enjoy!

we take out the pit of the dates and sandwich or top them with butter and bake (300-350F) just until butter is melted…this is what we do with left-over dates on flight and enjoy them as our (flight attendants) snack.

On a trip to Cairo we went to a date plantation- date palms have to be hand pollinated to get plenty of fruit.
