A few goodies arrived by courier today...
Though we may need to work on the concept of delivery! Lol...
I came home to find it on the lawn. It looks like it was removed from the vehicle and just left there, going by the tyre marks.
Way too heavy for me to move without unloading it or getting a trolley.
4kg of a very delicious date paste ($4 a tub, that's £2). Some of the same in syrup form, a very expensive bottle of sweet & sour pomegranate syrup (the molasses by the company on the label is even more expensive!), rose petals and rose powder (makes great herbal tea with greek wild thyme and saffron) and a small container of barberries (everything is wholesale prices so cheaper to buy a kg from this company than to go and buy 250g from other companies! )...
And a box of dates. A 10kg box of dates mind you but it was $66/10kg (or £33/10kg) instead of supermarket prices starting at $22/kg. So they'll keep. I'll divide them into 500g bags and freeze most and put the rest in air tight zip lock bags into the fridge.
And yes, they taste good. Not quite as nice as the ones I like that are $20/800g, but not far off and much more affordable. That'll be about a year's supply. The company gave recommendations on storage (rebag and freeze.) We usually get about ⅕-¼kg a week...
