Dates for Dates ... & Turkish Olives
« on: October 08, 2017, 15:20:16 PM »
Last year I mentioned my search for "ideologically sound" dates (i.e. not from Israel) and my difficulty in getting delivery because of the Christmas rush. So this year I have ordered my Palestinian jumbo size Meshoul dates early. They can be found here:

I also had problems getting Turkish Marmara Birlic dry-cured black olives (I can't stand those radioactive-green ones Kayakebab goes for) but The Turkish Shop company is back on form and so I have ordered a couple of 400gm cartons to see me through the next few weeks:

[p.s. "ideologically sound" was a concept that preceded "politically correct" and was, and remains, greatly intellectually superior - I might pontificate on that topic and some unknowable future date.]

Thanks for that Colwyn. I love those Medjoul dates, the large ones

Thanks Colwyn.

They're currently (!) out of super sized dates. I've put them on the wish list.

Will go for jumbo if no sign of them over the next few weeks.
