Peas, Dates and A Camel’s Hump

As their savory odor drifts upward, a dreamy look will overspread your countenance, and as you taste their rare succulence, their yielding tenderness, their glorious just-off-the-vine flavor, a feeling of blissful satisfaction will literally permeate you.

The New Yorker, January 1936

It's never to late

To succumb to a date

that's plump

as a camel's hump

And far sweeter

than an old potate(r).
