The next time I buy some I will try your drink. I have also done mango, some simple syrup and a little lime juice in the blender and then freeze it for a sorbet, it is delicious on a hot day. Sometimes I add cream to make mango ice cream.

Of course, ours is a decadent American version, with ice cream as well as milk, so we only make them in summer, and only a few times, as they're very rich. Your post makes me want to try them with just milk, for a cooler-season drink that's not quite so sweet.<BR/><BR/>--Katethemanicgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750985315536912324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-4693056648243555902008-12-10T19:02:00.000+02:002008-12-10T19:02:00.000+02:00I remember making a blended date drink years ago b...I remember making a blended date drink years ago but evidently I didn't keep the recipe. Instead of using milk, it called for almonds that have been soaked in water to be blended with the dates. (Almond milk is made by blending almonds and water so I guess this would be a nondairy date milk shake.)<BR/><BR/>It also has some spices in it, though. I think it may have included vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and/or allspice. If you like spicy flavors, you might try experimenting with some of these in your milk and date shakes.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-60135451046829969372008-11-29T01:16:00.000+02:002008-11-29T01:16:00.000+02:00Harvest,So glad you stopped by.

Actually I do not know the name of the plant whose photo is at the top of my blog. I took that photo among hundreds of other photos during the Spring Festival at Orman Botanical Garden in Egypt which is held for one month every year there. I guess it is an ornamental plant and not edible, at least according to Egyptian tradition. I loved your closing comment "... but a great recipe would be fun." I wish I had some interesting recipe for the cardoon you have growing at your place. As for dates, I guess it's cool that besides tasting stuff from other places of the world, it's nice to try and eat local and make the best of what's present at one's local environment.Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-50645172488817714932008-11-28T21:56:00.000+02:002008-11-28T21:56:00.000+02:00Hi!Thanks for stopping by my pages and leaving a c...Hi!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my pages and leaving a comment!

It's true, we don't have such a good choice of dates in N. America; I remember being in Morocco and Spain and having my eyes opened to what a date could be.

In Egypt, we have an equivalent of porridge and it's called bilila. It is made from uncrushed wheat.<BR/><BR/>Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries (Iraq being on the top) have so many different types of dates (actually they are different <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivar" REL="nofollow">cultivars</A> of dates). I guess I know what you're talking about, soft or let's say chewy dates packed in a cardboard box with the seeds not removed. In Egypt we eat them without any need for simmering, yet in Canada perhaps the weather is too cold (or let's say much colder) which makes them stick together forming large lumps. We experience this same condition when we put them in the fridge here in Egypt.Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-89858370295116961722008-11-15T10:10:00.000+02:002008-11-15T10:10:00.000+02:00Thank you for your answer.

The dates are from Medina, Saudi Arabia, are dark brown, and only when I opened the package did I realize that all the dates were very soft and all stuck together in one single blob with seeds all over. I've just had to pull little globs with my fingers to eat them. Still tastes very good. I'll just have to try to simmer them in a little bit of water to see if the seeds can be separated. Being from the Yukon, northern Canada, dates are great to bring for winter camping, as freezing does not bother them. I just drop some frozen dates in the simmering morning porridge, tastes great and gives you energy and warmth all day. Your drink sounds very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-85707822636512643292008-11-15T09:08:00.000+02:002008-11-15T09:08:00.000+02:00Anonymous, I'm not sure what type of dates you are...Anonymous, I'm not sure what type of dates you are talking about. Yet "sticky" dates to not seem to be the type used for making a date shake nor suitable for a blender.<BR/><BR/>As for eating the dates instead of giving them a shake the blender we just chew on them then remove the seeds as we do so.<BR/><BR/>The dates used for a date shake have a thin skin that can be easily pealed with hand. They are showed in the photo above. Such type of black dates are originally red or yellow in color then become black as they over-ripen. Such dates are crunchy when they are red or yellow and can be eaten as so and indeed we do eat them in such state in Egypt. Yet when they turn black after over-ripening, they become soft from inside and taste more sweet. We eat them in that state as well. That's the state suitable for using them to make date shake.<BR/><BR/>As for the other types of dates, perhaps you can try them out of the blender with warm milk. I've not tried them in a blender before.Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-76613040436966585002008-11-15T07:36:00.000+02:002008-11-15T07:36:00.000+02:00Just bought a package of sticky dates with seeds. ...Just bought a package of sticky dates with seeds.

Perhaps it's just that in Egypt we treat dates as if they were not a 'fruit', in the Arabic language it is not considered a fruit. Perhaps also traditional methods of cooking and making drinks in Egypt do not involve using ay blender, since it's an electric tool so for a 7,000 year civilization like that in Egypt electricity is considered a brand new invention :)<BR/><BR/>By the way, I tried watermelon in the blender and it turned out to be amazing, though again it's no traditional Egyptian drink (perhaps because it uses the blender).Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4644456426228960602.post-50924316434855131812008-11-13T21:04:00.000+02:002008-11-13T21:04:00.000+02:00It's funny how something which might have seemed o...It's funny how something which might have seemed obvious turns out not to have been tried before.<BR/><BR/>It does sound very sweet though!<BR/><BR/>(Love dates!)<BR/><BR/>Lucy Corrander<BR/><A HREF="http://looseandleafy.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">LOOSE AND LEAFY</A>Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.com
