Ironically, canned, smoked oysters are great on kosher crackers.

And how do Hannah’s dates taste?

“Lovely,” says Sallon. “I find Medjoul dates too sticky sweet. Hannah’s are blander and drier, with a honey aftertaste that makes me think of the land of milk and honey.”

The date experts at Kibbutz Keturah say they taste like the Zahidi species of Iraqi dates. That makes sense, as Hannah is genetically related to a species that grew in Babylon—present-day Iraq. “Domesticating the date palm for cultivation started around 6,000 years ago in Babylon and in the Arabian Peninsula,” Sallon explains. “Methuselah and Adam, from Masada, are very Arabian-like and are more than 2,000 years old. Hannah is more Iraqi. We presume she was brought by the exiles coming back after the First Temple was destroyed, because the Talmud tells us that Judean exiles worked in date plantations in Babylon.”

If they really want an old fruit, I think Barney Frank is looking for something to do.

Barney would be one bitter fruit.

"Ironically, canned, smoked oysters are great on kosher crackers."

Don't forget the dash of Tabasco Sauce.

When I lived in California and I would make the trip back home, my dad would always be waiting with a croker sack of fresh oysters, Saltine crackers, Tabasco sauce and a pitcher of sweet iced tea sitting out on the gazebo. He would start shucking the oysters the minute we arrived.

Allow me to try again from a different source.
