  1. I have a few thoughts on this recipe for next time. First I liked it very much and will make again! My guests enjoyed it too! I used real Danish Blue Cheese. It's strong! I discovered my palate just prefers an Oregon Blue Cheese which is just a bit more mild and would let the rest of the ingredients come through. I think I'd add a bit more of the dates, maybe another Tbl or 2. It makes a ton!! I think next time I'll half it unless I'm serving for a very large group. Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest 2017, Scandinavia.
