The Gorilla Date

After reading the Amateur Gourmet's irrepressibly-giggle-inducing post on Medjool dates, I decided to chime in and add to the praise on that precious fruit.

But why is my date so angry, I wonder? Is it because it is all brown and wrinkled? Is it because we gobbled up all of its siblings in the clear plastic container and it is the only survivor? Is it because it cost an arm and a leg but didn't even get a commission on the transaction?

It is so plump and moist and sweet, shouldn't that cheer it up?
