Algeria / DATE IDEA

Taste dates side by side.

Choose two varieties of dates at a market and taste them blind at home with tea. Guess which is softer, sweeter or firmer.

01 / ALGERIA

Go at your own pace.

In Algeria, a date can begin with a shared meal, a craft or a walk through a familiar city neighbourhood.

02 / HOW TO DO IT

Choose two varieties of dates at a market and taste them blind at home with tea.
Ask the seller about the origin and price.
Buy small quantities to avoid waste.

No different varieties? Try the same date with two kinds of tea.

01 / Algeria

Find an eatery serving chorba and choose bread to share alongside it. Compare the spices and discuss which combination you'd like to make at home.

02 / Algeria

Visit an accessible gallery or museum with Algerian ceramics or mosaics and each choose a pattern you'd draw yourself later.

03 / Algeria

Take a short daytime walk through a well-known historic neighbourhood and stop at a quiet café for coffee or tea and a chat.
