Dip the scissors in it as you work, shake off the excess water and snip away at the dates. Darlene, I forgot to mention to keep a cup or beaker of boiling water handy.

Thanks for reminding me, Grannymar. Dates are still sticky, but I think I could manage to do the job with your suggestion. I had forgotten that trick of using scissors.

I find it works well. Single cream is a pouring consistency and will not thicken when whipped. I eat a banana mid morning, it stops me looking for chocolate.

It sounds wonderful, but still don't know what single cream is. Is that what we call 'soured cream'? I love bananas and eat one every day for the potassium. If you suffer from leg cramps, like I do, you should scarf one down every day. I hate chopping dates - sticky things - but may do so for this slaw.

There'll be loads of dates available in my neck of the woods the next Eid time - that's a Muslim festival for anyone who doesn't know. And bananas - sure they're all over the place here in India!
