The same, only dried

That's a much better choice :3

Breeds of dates

(Forgot to post pic)
Hilla/ babylon

Wow some look nice but they are a bit different from the ones I find here :/
Are you s*nni?

Please take this shit talk out of this thread ( don't make me dislike you)
Both sunnis and shia'a are iraqes before they are muslims

Do you personaly like them?
Have you tried them with walnut and black tea?
What is your favourate breed?

So you're not assman I guess :(
Anyway I just had like these few hours ago :3 they're sooooo good :d
They call it siwa here I think

انتي اللي صورتي رجليك ل/asia

Ramadan food, it's good

This is zaghloul :/
Most of my friends like these. For some reason I always choke whenever I try to eat one :(

That was over a year ago -___-;; I can't believe he still remembers that__ __

They taste like pure sugar.

This. I don't understand the appeal. Guess they could be alright baked in a pastry with spices.

Very popular in our country, but don't know if I've seen fresh ones, think they would be just more juicy and less sweet

They are :)

One more thing, have you lads tasted ARAK "(the alcoholic drink made often from dates".
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arak_(drink)

I love dates, I've had both fresh and various dries kinds.

My favorite is when there's an Iranian funeral and there are those big juicy dates with walnuts and honey.

Fuggg, never had this though, gotta go asking family if they'd know where I can get some.

You're right russia-san :)
The riper brown part is moist and even sweeter than dried

Assman told us about it~. Never tasted it tho __ __
Arak means sweat BTW ugh
I love those so much

Be it's too alcoholic, we usually dilute it with a bit on water, brewed ginger
I think you can get some on e-bay or amazon

I don't know assman, i saw your replay on that turk thread AN HOUR AGO...

My grandfather owned a large date field in the 1950s in southern california, all of the date trees in imperial county can be traced back to the middle east.

Not really a fan of dates, too sweet, I like the cactus fruit that grows locally in my area a lot more.

He's the famous Iraqi poster on Mena. He's pretty cool too desu.

Never saw them fresh.
Only ever ate them dried.

Never seen them fresh.

I like em, they are bit too sticky, but good tasting otherwise.

Mixing it with ginger sounds really good. I'll look into ordering it online. Not even sure how that's regulated in my state.

Yes, my Indian coworker gave me some that he got from an importers.

I like figs more

>date trees
btw most of the dates grown in california are empress(thoory) dates and taste really sweet and have a wrinkled texture, i've eaten the green ones that fall off the tree early and those will give you the runs.

This??

I understood it. It is this

Dates make me explode out my ass. They contain sorbitol.

We have dates but they're opposite everyone else's.

Roman Honeyed Stuffed Dates Recipe

Ingredients:
-dates
-coarse salt
-honey
-chopped nuts (pine nuts or hazelnuts, but I guess any would be fine) or coarsely ground black pepper
-red wine (optional)

1. Pit your dates (take out the seeds).
2. Stuff them with your chopped nuts or black pepper. Make sure you can still seal the opening in the dates so nothing comes out.
3. Roll the dates in some coarse salt.
4. Heat the honey in a pot. Mix with a bit of red wine if you wish.
5. When the honey starts to boil/bubble, take it off the heat, and coat your dates in it.
6. Become too fat to ride a horse in the Roman cavalry.

no

Only the tree, and only potted, and only the Canarian species which is said to have unedible fruit, but they aren't fruiting/flowering yet anyway.
Gona plant the Cretan one into the ground next year though, let's see how it survives

Here in iraq-desu,my dear germany-chan, palm is everywhere from the bay in the south to the mountains in the north
Palm is neer rivers, in gardens(nearly all gardens have palm and olives)
In the land between furat and di'jla almost full to the nick with date bereing palm
.

I-Iraq-kun, a-are you alright over there?

oe loco date

I've had dried dates with honey. Pretty good desu, though I'd love to try some fresh dates. I think you inspired me to go to the store tomorrow.

I'm from Commiefornia (California if you didn't know but you probably did anyway) and we have a lot of dates cause of Palm trees'n'shit. Never tried em

We have them of course, but we don't really eat them. I don't think I have ever tried one before.

I envy the variety you must have.
I recently found a supply of rotab dates from Bam. I wouldn't say I liked them more than the medjools but its nice to have something distinctly different.

>dates

y-yeah

I'm fine, norway-chan it's just a flesh wound

The dates i know are too sweet alone, why add honey?

I've never had them fresh but I think they are very good.

Now I don't buy any imported food though so I haven't had them in years.

Syrup is also made from dates, some cultures call it "black honey", i never had maple syrup but date syrup is (maybe) just as good for pancakes blin

A specialty of your's truly!

I like em fresh
I would like to try more types, but in Cuckistan we only have like 2 types :(
The only good things about Saudi Arabia are the
the Oil
the dates
the Monarchy

B-but iraq-desu has way more fertile land and way more kinds :(.
Also why exactly is monarchy good????

Yes. It is very unique.

Also, I'm currently eating Deglet Noor dates. That might be some retarded American name though.

Noor means light in arabic, is also a genderless name
I don't know what deglet means

Mine are a little darker and more moist. Deglet Noor.

I'm Armenian so I know what it is and we love this shit

Also we make alcohol from figs, it's amazing

Maple Syrup is masterrace.

But I've never tried Date syrup.

A lot of middle eastern foods are growing in popularity in America, but they still remain quite... Unknown.

I play too much Europa Universalis 4 and Crusader Cucks 2

Do you call dates as korma/kurma?
I like the moist variety

Well the dates themselves are dark so I don't know what the name implies.

Do dates darken when they dry?

Either way, I recently developed a craving or them. Didn't realize they are pure sugar though.

A Pokémon I guess? Lol
Have you ever tried a date cake? My friends made one like a couple months ago and it was really good haha also
My father knows how to make the bst Keket Balah in the whole world (without vanilla on top, sorry).

>Now I don't buy any imported food though so I haven't had them in years

Why?

I prefer figs
Got a fig tree in my yard
They are delicious

Pic related

Also, WTF i want a date cake now!

Ohhhh, makes sense.
I'm a fan of civ, total war, mount and blade and the elder scrolls
These games are the reason for my english skills!

It's spelled deklet noor in Arabic دقلة نور "
But some dialects like Iraqi and khaleeji pronunce the k as g hence being called

No, actually
When they are yellow we call them "khalal"
Then moist and brown we call the "ri'tab"
Then dried we call it "tamr"

What language is it from? My family and neighbors say kurma or khurma too

They do darken just a little bit yes

You should come over and eat cake with me and usa-chan!I love it. My auntie makes it all the time.

You know what ive never had it's called lomat el ady i think, they kind of look like munchkins, anyway this summer when I go im going to try them. My grandma from egypt talks about how she makes them on the phone to me all the time. Or fitir mi3asal, or abu ali, or roz bil laban ma3 haleeb. I think im hungry lol.

Figs are great!
Homes south of iraq has fig trees, though i've never seen them in the middle where i live

Yes i have!, we make them here too
Recipe:-----
Dry dates peeled and without seeds
T'heena (a consontrate made from sasame seeds) (use iraqi or syrian for best taste)
.
Mash the dates together with the t'heena then form shapes from them
.
Put them in a pan without oil for a couple of minutes then cote them with baked sasame seeds

That they are
The only problem I have with mine is that I have to clear the bad figs constantly or it really starts to stink and attract flies

Oh thanks!

These are date cakes!
You can also coat them with coconuts, walnuts, almonds,cocoa powder or anything like that

Wow we call this 3asaliya here. Really tasty. Not the cake I was talking about tho
We have a guava and mulberry tree behind us.

I am going to attempt this, and fail.

But it'll still taste good

...

I think date liqueur would taste nice

You basiclly can't fail ! :D
Unless you use tukish sh*t t'heena, also you need to flip constantly when cooking!
.
.some people like to add the syrup into the mix, id say do it only if the mix is'nt sweet enough

>HE DOES NOT DRINK LAGBY/LAGMY

Then sprinkle sesame when it's finished :d
Does Laban be tamr count? :3

I've never seen a fresh date in person before, in my city we get deglet noor dates from Tunisia, Medjool dates from the States, and my favourite type of date, Bam dates from Iran. Would really like to visit a date market in the Middle East one day.

Not even close mate, i don't believe in god, so it's ok for me
Also the selling and consomtion of alcohol is legal in iraq but only privetly
There are bars in baghdad so beautiful you won't ever forget them

I have no idea what they are but since this is tangentially food related I want to say that since uni started I've got into the habit of drinking a fucking soda literally every day, it helps me study but I just need to fucking stop. It's bad too because last year I lost a lot of weight and if I keep this up I'm gonna get it all back.

Only if you consume it when it's not Ramadan

>selling and consumption of alcohol is legal but only privately
Isn't that a universal protocol for countries with Islamic majority?

thanks for all the yous kid

Not with saudi arabia and afghanistan and other places.
I've even heard stories about smugglers buying from najaf to sell for ten times the price in the saudi black market

Not to mention the mangos!!!,
I never seen guava in person though
I only know the artifetial smell from jeuce;_;

Thouse are acorns japan-dono
.
Dates grow in cluster near the top of palm treesIf you can't find them in market i think you can get some from e-bay or amazon
If you ask nicely i'll send you some ;)

Date market

Guava is really nice desu :3 LOL that's what i usually do here in egypt when I'm bored watch melody lol and eat guava and abu ali. Also, aseer 2asab (sugar cane juice).

No
Yes
They're okay, just wish date wine wouldn't taste so bland.

When my family were exiles in syria
Suger cane was sold raw in the market
.
.
Ahhh, the syrian fruit and vegtables market back at 2001 damascus ,brings a tear of blood to my eye.
.
Everything freash tasty and super cheap(not just for us but nearly every syrian) the weather is warm at summer cool in winter
Almost everyone was nice , jasmine was at every garden along with verious flowers T_T

The average supermarket has dried dates. I've never seen variety indicated, just that they are dates.

I have never seen fresh dates.

I have never seen them used in cooking, I've tried them once by themselves as a snack, but apart from that never seen them used as snacks. They might be an ingredient in boxed cereals

Once i saw a great marble church close to a mosque.
The syrians loved life way more than we did
You can hear culture, happiness in ther nice friendly tone
.
.ours has sadness instead

I'm sorry i did'nt mean to turn this thread to feels or politics

>i did'nt mean to turn this thread to feels
T-too late ;____;

Oh, we make alot of sweets with dates!

One more thing aboute syrup...
If you can't find iraqi date syrup in any of your local markets, blame bush's usa for denaying iraq from exporting
When this...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil-for-Food_Programme
Was not resulved even after. Saddam's fall by years

Picture related, exports even reached sweden

If you want to blame Bush for fucking everything up, get in line.

I blame him for not acting sooner
5 years after saddams fall,
Then in 2007 he cancels the program
.
Remamber the iraqi journalist who threw his shoe at him? It was for it

How hard was life like during the embargo?
I read 500,000 children died cuz of it and there weren't any medications/stuff? :(

Actually I changed my mind; you can skip to the front of the line for complaining about Bush. You've earned that much at least.

To are too sweet for eating them just like that I think, but they are great for salads.

If it's acorn, then none eats it here. It's considered that only wild pigs love acorn.
No idea how they taste.

are medjools classified as fresh or dried?

pretty much the only kind I ever see, they're nice with coconut

Freash or dried are states not classes
The freash ones dri to become dried
.
If your dates are a bit hard,wrinckled and dark they are dry
. If the skin is smooth or squishy they are freash

Not acornes russia-sama,
Dates a sweet frute
Although we do feed cheap dates to horses

you're a nice lad/laddet

Salads?
That may work, but no we eat them just like this raw
We usually eat them with walnuts or other nuts
And black tea

It's true!, i don't belong here XD

no , you do
stay

Reported to FBI

I guess these ones are fresh

the skin is wrinkled but they're still moist and soft

You can propably get some half yellow half brown dats.
Only if you know tha farm and the perfect time

Oh yes, Tamar, another name for kurma. Both Tamar and Kurma generally refers to dates here.
It's Malay. I think it has Persian in origin, spread during the golden age.
