Turned Out Nice Again Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My local greengrocer has started stocking Saudi "Barni"-variety dates in 800g vacuum packs for just £1.99. He says I'm the only person yet to buy them (I'm on my 2nd pack now). Of the people I have recommended these to, about 80% (including the greengrocer) have expressed vague disgust, citing Eat-Me memories of Christmasses-past. Needless to say, these are in a totally different class: super-sweet, soft and chewy like caramels but with a slight crystalline crunch of sugar on the outside. nature's candy! I'm off to get another pack. EDIT: bggger! misspelt "unbelievably" in the title. oh well, can't change it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried them before - they're fabulous. Huge, fat, very sweet black cherries from Kent, found the other day in the W supermarket where I am usually too tight to shop. Not cheap but worth it.

I used to have a very expensive superbike, which for insurance reasons was kept at my parents, however I used to have a much larger grin on my face racing round the country on a Honda 100cc me and my flat mate purchased together.

I have the same quandary: 170hp bike in the garage that's done about 50 miles this summer, and all I want to ride lately when the sun's out is my little Vespa puddlejumper. A total riot in the city. Why do they never tell you that at CBT!?! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap but worth it. Cherries are very much a binary purchase, I find; they're either stellar and worth the premium, or else tasteless - um - cerise spheres. :-\ Picota are my cherry acme, but only seem to have a very narrow optimum season IME. But yes, the Kentish ones have been very good recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
