Those dates I bought for you on Monday... I've eaten them. Sorry ;) From a purely novice POV, they came in a box about the size of 2 packets of Bensons and came in three layers. The first layer, the dates were dry and sweet, fleshy and a little bit chewy. The second layer... oh my God;wet with syrup and almost too sickly to describe... Very sweet, very soft and almost didn't make the journey from box to fingers to mouth, they were that soft. I put them down a couple of hours ago but fancied another one or six but I can't find where I've bloody put them.
