“12 Days of Halloween”
Day 5
I hate bugs! As much as I love Dates, I have never been able to shake the uncanny resemblance that they have to Roaches. I guarantee you, neither will your guests.
There are a lot of flavors going on in these little roach like creatures. If you’ve never had a date, they have a nice sweet flavor to them. It’s a flavor that pairs perfectly with goat cheese, which is tangy (similar to cream cheese), and compliments the saltiness of the bacon and the subtle peppery flavor of the basil very nicely. Basically it’s like a punch in the mouth of flavor.
