Cream cheese on what?

Easy just get good dates and some good full fat cream cheese.

Take the stone out of the date and fill the whole thing with the cheese, TIP try not to eat them before they get to the serving dish! I never manage that bit.

Butter

in Holland we have the 'normal' butter and cheese but then there is gras boter en gras kaas and thats the butter and cheese made from the milk that is produced when the cows go out in the spring and eat fresh new grass.

It's just got the extra 'YUM' factor that normal stuff hasn't.
