Moroccan Dates

I’ve often heard that Iraqi dates are the best in the world.

At a recent wedding, I had the pleasure of having dates from Morocco.

They were twice the size of dates you find in supermarkets.  Stuffed with marzipan and other sweet goodies and served with little cups of milk flavored with some spice, they were perfect appetizers for the couscous and tagine that I had for my main course.

These dates were absolutely delicious and without question,  the best dates I’ve ever had.
