Fig

[jennyjoan]

Was standing outside the swanky veg shop just an hour ago - picked up a fig. Forgive my ignorance - do you eat it with the skin on. Ta

//Fresh figs are usually eaten raw. ... The entire fig is edible, from the thin skin to the red or purplish flesh and the myriad tiny seeds//

[calmck]

Just picked masses of figs from my trees. Some to be eaten with skins. Others to make fig purée for breakfast

[jennyjoan]

calc and you won't be constipated for long LOL

We have a fig tree which produces loads of figs which all go in the bin. I hate those tiny seeds with a vengeance.

Send them to me!!!
I adore figs. I'd only had dried...when I was a child...and discovered fresh 5 or 6 years ago.

Drizzle honey on it and place in 200c oven for 15 minutes. Then have with Greek yogurt. The whole thing, skin and all.

You are making my mouth water, I love figs, both fresh and dried ones.

[jennyjoan]

Figs, aren't they like Dates something that you only have over Christmas.

[jennyjoan]

Tonya-v - that's my first fig ever. Will eat it tomorrow along with fresh blackberries. Ummmm.

[tonyav]

Mmmmm fresh blackberries, lots of them growing wild where I live. Might have to visit Tesco and get some fresh cream.

When I was young we always had a box of dates and a box of figs at Xmas. The figs were crystallised.

[jennyjoan]

well had my fig and blackberries with a spoonful cornflakes and a little cream and it was all delicious. will be definitely be buying more figs.

[maggiebee]

When I worked in Albania, the fig sellers went along the beaches selling them - just like we would do with ice cream. Fresh and delicious.

[pastafreak]

You can eat figs either sweet or savoury. They go well with meats like Parma ham, and cheeses.

[jennyjoan]

I;ll stick with the sweet - really nice.

Pasta I love mine wrapped in Parma ham, with goats cheese and toasted pecans
