RUMAKI
Rumaki first became popular during the "Tiki Bar" era of the mid-20th century -- a trend that managed to stick around for decades, because trends used to be able to do that. Nowadays food trends can last for mere hours, but with enough support we can bring rumaki back into the spotlight for weeks, or maybe even months! After all, a dish that's this good is never really out of style.

Steps:
- Cut the ends off of the chorizo, and cut into 12 cubes. Stuff each piece inside one of the dates. Wrap a piece of bacon around each date, and secure with toothpicks. This part may all be done ahead of time.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the dates in the pan with the bacon seam side down. Fry until golden, then turn and fry on the other side until bacon is cooked through. You may serve them now, or proceed to coat and fry them.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F 190 degrees C. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Coat the dates with flour, then dip into the egg. Place immediately into the hot oil, and fry until golden, turning once. This will take about 4 minutes total. Drain and serve right away.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chorizo: Opt for a flavorful and slightly spicy chorizo that will complement the sweetness of the dates.
- Use soft and plump dates: Make sure your dates are soft and moist, as dry dates will not be as enjoyable.
- Stuff the dates evenly: To ensure an even distribution of chorizo and cheese, stuff the dates carefully and avoid overfilling them.
- Wrap the dates tightly with bacon: Wrapping the dates tightly with bacon will prevent them from bursting open during cooking and help keep the filling secure.
- Bake until the bacon is crispy: Cook the wrapped dates in the oven until the bacon is crispy and browned, as this will enhance the overall flavor and texture.
- Serve with a dipping sauce: Consider serving the chorizo date rumaki with a complementary dipping sauce, such as a sweet and tangy glaze or a creamy mustard sauce.

Chorizo date rumaki is an easy-to-make and delicious appetizer that combines the savory flavors of chorizo and cheese with the sweetness of dates, all wrapped in crispy bacon.
