Close. And?

 

Knowing you, I'd guess it's some kind of pepper. And spices.

honey dates from Dateland while channel switching NFL games.   I have no dog in any of the fights today, nor any $$.

 

How did you like them? I was disappointed by Dateland's dates when I tried them. All too dry. It's been a few years, and things might have changed.

I had the Honey and Halawi.   Both were moist.  The Honey are very tender, sweet, mild and sticky with an easily dealt with pit.   

The Halawi were a bit harder and long/skinny but not dry and had a more dense caramel flavor.  Maybe this year was good for dates.  It was horrible for citrus.  

 

I actually ordered a lot more of the Honey dates for delivery.  Not cheap, but the household really likes them.

 

Never been a fan of medjool.

I like the medjool for their size (nice if you're stuffing them with something) but for eating out of hand I think my favorite was halawi. Or maybe barhi. It's been a few years and I've gotten away from them. My husband always preferred the honey dates. We strongly preferred what we could get at Oasis Date Gardens. Glad you're having a good experience with Dateland.

Impulse purchase, DJ&A Veggie Crisps Tempura with Lotus, Eggplant & Pumpkin , a bit pricey.   I love the Japanese tempura seaweed chips, so I gave these a shot.  These are wonderful, the coating is light and the veg pieces are crunchy.  Not overly salty.  I think I like the pumpkin pieces the best.

 

product of Australia.

These are just about banned from our house due to the price and how easily they dissappear.   A nice occasional treat, though!
