We recently received 10kg of fresh medjool dates from a farmer friend in the Kalahari. Yup - TEN - kgs! I love food that has a surprise in it. Chilli chocolate. Citrus in cheesecake. Rosehips in rooibos. Coriander in - well almost anything.
Feeling jealous - I would have come to collect...
It may be cheaper to import it!
