Thoughts on this holiday snack

[Ramathorn]

Got this from food network:

Date stuffed with cream cheese and almonds, wrapped in bacon. Baked.

 

[Gen. Applewhite]

ive eaten this without the cream cheese and i can report that it was awesome. go forth

 

[Ramathorn]

You think it would be ok with the cheese? Wonder if it will create a mess with all that melted cheese. It's an easy recipe as well.

 

[Gen. Applewhite]

these things are easy as hell. why dont you make one with cheese and one without, eat them both and decide. also, report back on your thoughts.

that said, when i bit into it, my first thought was not "this would be better with cream cheese". it was "this is amazing and i want twenty more"

You might consider using Blue Cheese, Manchego or Parm instead of cream cheese.

This is a classic Italian dish, especially in Capri. Also a popular Tapas offering in Spain.

I think they are very good. I eat them most mornings leaving out the dates, cream cheese, and almonds.

 

[Ramathorn]

Will report back on Christmas day.

Tuf, that was funny. You ever see Jim Gaffigan's bit on bacon? Hilarious...
