fig, yesterday

[jennifer_jamesn]

i was expecting the first fresh fig i ever ate to be a wowser.

i wanted to spit it out ungraciously and scrape my tongue against my top teeth.

i liked the taste ok, but i couldn't surpress the reaction that the texture was similar

to a roiling hive of maggots.

Roasting them softens the fibers (and reduces that mouthful of maggots feeling) and sweetens them a lot. I recommend it highly.

oh! good one! I'm going to try that then. Thanks.

i don't think i could just sit and eat a fig, but they're good in baked goods.
