Does anyone still eat these god awful things? Infact, are they even still in the shops?
My old Nan use to like eating them over the festive season. Mind you, she liked beetroot as well!
Merry Christmas.

Some bloke tried to nick my beetroot yesterday.
I caught him red handed.

Bought a kilo the other day - not the fancy Christmas ones, which are a bit of an acquired taste - the dried ones. Lovely chopped up on your cereal.

what used to be in the packaging/box, was it a wooden tooth pick or wooden fork?

When I used to do a bit of cargo handling at Heathrow a few years back. At least once a week for at least 6 months of the year I would have to unload around 5 tonnes of dates by hand if memory serves me right they came in around 500 boxes and it was normally the last flight I did before knocking off for the day.
I used to always pray the flight was delayed so the next shift had to do it!

'Eat me'
That's what it used to say on the box.

How did the camel escape and why did the police get involved. What are the police doing with the camel?

Pickled beetroot is rubbish.
Fresh beetroot is much better

Eat Me dates.
Like Brussels, every Christmas I would think my tastebuds might have matured enough to like these things...and every Christmas they were fucking horrible.

I had a banana, date and chia seed smoothie on Etihad a few weeks ago. Nicest thing I've had on a plane.

Pickled beetroot is nice. Fresh tastes like dirt.

Branded has it right, Middle East Kuwait, Saudi probably best. Or go in to Harrods food hall expensive but superb. Beetroot is the devils food and has you pissing blood, but still partial to some in my potato salad.
