I left the pits in largely because I'm lazy... plus it's a good way to slow down the inhaling of the dates.<BR/><BR/>I have to tell you that I REALLY love dates. I fear that if I took time to pit them, I'd eat more than I wrap with the bacon.<BR/><BR/>Stuffing with goat cheese sounds wonderful, though. And bacon-wrapped shrimp balls dipped in mayo? Great God!<BR/><BR/>Bacon is good. Around shrimp. Around dates. All by itself. Is there nothing bacon can't improve?

A friend of mine made some at a dinner party...and he stuffed the dates with goat's cheese before wrapping in bacon.<BR/><BR/>Oh, god. Yesterday at a dimsum place in Queens they were serving crabapple-sized shrimp balls wrapped in ENTIRE rashers of bacon - with mayo for dipping, if you can believe it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-18209805067497726502008-03-08T08:12:00.000-05:002008-03-08T08:12:00.000-05:00The people I served this to said that if I had not...The people I served this to said that if I had not identified them as bacon-wrapped dates, they wouldn't have known there were dates inside... the bacon and cooking process seems to mask them somehow. You bite into salty, then sweet... but it's not as "date-y" as just eating a regular date.<BR/><BR/>But I loooooove medjools. I could eat them by the handful!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748231341500700924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555929730378028813.post-90677222396213089102008-03-07T13:22:00.000-05:002008-03-07T13:22:00.000-05:00Mmm...bacon.
