Re: Dates (the fruit) in Chile

Postby Tombi » Wed Aug 10, 2011 2:03 pm

Ali, I've been buying the most delicious "dulces Arabes" lately at Jumbo La Dehesa and Unimarc Sta Maria de Manquehue. One of my indulgences!

LOL Rachel, I just realised the significance of you putting "(the fruit)". I've been out of Oz for too long!

haha... when I type "date" into google I get hundreds of dating sites. That's what happened when I was in Jumbo trying to find a photo to explain to the informacíon staff!
I didn't want people thinking that I was looking for some male company...

In Australia, "date" has a totally different meaning altogether. I thought you were Aussie when I typed that. I am sure some of the Aus/Nz'ers on the forum will get a chuckle from that one!

For anyone else that has no idea of the Aussie meaning of date:
