I prefer figs in my salad as opposed to dates.

Really?


Interesting.




Aren't they the same thing?

I wouldn't know.



But I would like to have a date in my salad....nothing else though. I'm pretty basic.I like leafies...some oil...I like a strawberry on top....a date would be different.



Oh I guess it's the same idea.


I mean...what do I know anyways?

The fig is native to the Mediterranean and I believe Asia while dates grow in more desert climate. They also look slightly different and one grows on a tree while I think the other on a bush.

Oh?

I was not aware of all that. Very interesting stuff.




Now I am unsure as to what I am talking about.

I would think from what I recall the packaging says I like the ones in the bush.

Or on.

You know..that grow there.....on the bush.

As opposed to the tree.




That's what I'm saying.

I'm sure.

They just hang there..the dates.

The fruit dates...or figs....which ever are found by the bush...on the bush.
























Brother.

This shouldn't be so complicated.

I'll just go by what you said.

Got it!



I remember hearing the term fig tree.

By process of elimination that means dates are bushes.






No...I mean dates grow on bushes.






They do.





The dates ..I was right on that.....right in that I knew I liked dates from bushes.

Bush dates I guess.






Uh....






......I am merely clarifying.
