Dates

Whaaaat! Figgy rolls are great!

 

I like dates. Eat a box in about 4 sittings. But then I like cockles and pickled mussels.

 

We like those medjool dates. Great big sticky things. Luscious!

 

Chop

Chop them up and add them to your muesli yum yum

 

Love them.
Great in cakes. Work well with figs.
I think my penchant for them came as a consequence from downing a bottle of syrup of figs as a toddler.

 

You have to buy your dates?
Didn't have you down as an escort kind of guy

 

Aldi ones are WELL nice, kicks the old oval box with a plaggy twig ones right into touch.

 

I love them












We haven’t bought any though

 

Whilst celebrating what the Victorians gave us, we should also remember they gave us Christmas dates, nuts and Turkish Delight, brandy sauce and,

And


Liquorice............

 

And steam locomotives.

 

I love em and through the year there only around sixty pence from poundstretcher.
For a treat. Stone them and dip in good chocolate. I prefer them to crisps or nuts

 

Then your Gastro tablets

 

I like steam pudding, how do you get a locomotive in a pan ?

 

How do you pronounce it though? It’s always been liquorish here, and long may it remain so. We fought hard for Brexit so we wouldn’t have these silly continental pronunciations foistered on us!

 

I bet he calls nougat “noo-gah” as well. That’s posh.

 

I know someone who calls it Doo dah

 

‘Pootube’, more like!

 

Love ‘em!

 

Not strictly true.
The first steam locomotive was built 35 years before Victoria came to the throne!
