No, not what you're thinking...

Egypt has a lovely custom where the dates that are sold during Rammadan are named, according to their quality, after famous or infamous people.

The best dates this year are named after Obama.

The worst (cheapest ones) this year are named after Bush and Netanyahu laugh

Oftentimes good or bad ones are named after movie stars etc., but this is the first year that a US President got the best ones.

This story is shown on CNN today, by the way.

Can you think of a type of food that you think deserves to be named after politicians or famous people or perhaps people you know?

What would the food be and who would you name it after?

Have fun laugh

Then there's the bobbyboban fig 2009 - doesn't really care if you bite it or nibble it as long as you don't spit it out!

(Yikes - that sounds a bit bad...... didn't mean it to sound disgusting - honestly!)

Ummmm - let me crack one on me then:

My old id was rusty_knight, right?

The 2009 rusty_knight pineapple - remove spikey bits before taking this awesome fruit to bed with you! blushing

laugh I guess they want to sell the best ones first. Like the one named after Obama. conversing Who would buy a date named after Bush except a Republican?
