Date Collection: The slow hobby of date collection and consumption is moving on at a pace that might be said to be comfortably slow. The dates of the date palm are harvested by experts and then stuffed by beginners. It can best be described as being a process. We use both exotic and mundane fillings. Examples might be and are not limited to: Diced grapefruit and brown sugar, crushed cumquat, slivers of anchovies in oil and sardine paste, coriander and mushroom, Malteser and sweet pickle, shortbread (crushed) with clotted cream and brandy, scrambled egg and peanut butter and of course finely chopped Mars Bar.
Doctored dates are popular in
Catholic and Islamic countries across the world thanks to various works of Biblical
fraud. In an apocryphal story Jesus turned a pile of donkey dung into sweet
dates flavoured with cinnamon and the honey from wild (or fairly upset as I
understand) bees and distributed them amongst the poor and the Roman colonists
in order to illustrate some now lost teaching points via a forgotten parable. Hence
“The Miracle of the Lost Parable”, a new film due out in December 2024 on
Netflix starring literally a cast of thousands of CGI peasants and funded by
the Date Marketing Board of Canada. Expect a sharp uptake in date demand that
party season.
Dates are a fruit. Did I say date and mean data or did I say data and mean date?
