Ooh yes please! Figs are one of the greatest fruits - sexy, luscious, and absolutely delicious. I'm currently working my way through a bowl of figs from a tree in my mother's garden.

-T.
 
Here you go:

In the bottom of a balloon wine glass place a fresh fig, stem side down, that has been cross cut from the blossom side, so it opens in the glass like a flower. Top with plain yoghurt, add a layer of one type of berry, top with more plain yoghurt, top with a layer of a different berry.

I tried to read that as if it were a poem !oops!!oops!
 
Fig jam .... yuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!!

FIGS by D H Lawrence ...

The proper way to eat a fig, in society,
Is to split it in four, holding it by the stump,
And open it, so that it is a glittering, rosy, moist, honied, heavy-petalled four-petalled flower.
Then you throw away the skin
Which is just like a four-sepalled calyx,
After you have taken off the blossom with your lips.

But the vulgar way
Is just to put your mouth to the crack, and take out the flesh in one bite.

Every fruit has its secret.

The fig is a very secretive fruit.
As you see it standing growing, you feel at once it is symbolic:
And it seems male.
But when you come to know it better, you agree with the Romans, it is female.

The Italians vulgarly say, it stands for the female part; the fig-fruit:
The fissure, the yoni,
The wonderful moist conductivity towards the centre.

Involved,
Inturned,
The flowering all inward and womb-fibrilled;
And but one orifice.

The fig, the horse-shoe, the squash-blossom.
Symbols.

There was a flower that flowered inward, womb-ward;
Now there is a fruit like a ripe womb.

It was always a secret.
That's how it should be, the female should always be secret.

There never was any standing aloft and unfolded on a bough
Like other flowers, in a revelation of petals;
Silver-pink peach, venetian green glass of medlars and sorb-apples,
Shallow wine-cups on short, bulging stems
Opening pledging heaven:
Here's to the thorn in flower! Here is to Utterance!
The brave, adventurous rosaceae.
Folded upon itself, and secret unutterable,
The milky-sapped, sap that curdles milk and makes ricotta,
Sap that smells strange on your fingers, that even goats won't taste it;
Folded upon itself, enclosed like any Mohammedan woman,
Its nakedness all within-walls, its flowering forever unseen,
One small way of access only, and this close-curtained from the light;
Fig, fruit of the female mystery, covert and inward,
Mediterranean fruit, with your covert nakedness,
Where everything happens invisible, flowering and fertilization, and fruiting
In the inwardness of your you, that eye will never see
Till it's finished, and you're over-ripe, and you burst to give up your ghost.

Till the drop of ripeness exudes,
And the year is over.

And then the fig has kept her secret long enough.
So it explodes, and you see through the fissure the scarlet.
And the fig is finished, the year is over.

That's how the fig dies, showing her crimson through purple slit
Like a wound, the exposure of her secret, on the open day.
Like a prostitute, the bursten fig, making a show of her secret.

That's how women die too.

The year is fallen over-ripe,
The year of our women.
The year of our women is fallen over-ripe.
The secret is laid bare.
The rottenness soon sets in.
The year of our women is fallen over-ripe.

When Eve once knew in her mind that she was naked
She quickly sewed fig-leaves, and sewed the same for the man.
She'd been naked all her days before,
But till then, till that apple of knowledge, she hadn't had the fact on her mind.

She got the fact on her mind, and quickly sewed fig leaves.
And women have been sewing ever since.
But now they stitch to adorn the bursten fig, not to cover it.
They have their nakedness more than ever on their mind,
And they won't let us forget it.

Now, the secret
Becomes an affirmation through moist, scarlet lips
That laugh at the Lord's indignation.

What then, good Lord! cry the women.
We have kept our secret long enough.
We are a ripe fig.
Let us burst into affirmation.

They forget, ripe figs won't keep.
Ripe figs won't keep.
Honey-white figs of the north, black figs with scarlet inside, of the south.
Ripe figs won't keep, won't keep in any clime.
What then, when women the world over have all bursten into self-assurance?
And bursten figs won't keep?
 
We also love 'em fresh or dried.......we get them at Trader Joe's here in Las Vegas and they are great!

I grew up having fig trees in our yard; but we had to fight the birds and the "June bugs" for them; else we would NOT have any to eat for they too fed on their morsels!

Yum, yum!(*8*):kiss:
 
Yip they yummy

To those who have fig treeas you lucky buggers
 
My local grocery store gets fresh dates but the closest they get to fresh figs is these:

I don't think I've ever had fresh figs, but I like dried figs.

top with figs
dot with goat cheese
sprinkle with fresh rosemary and cracked pepper
drizzle with honey

Can't wait to own a bit of property in the NW with southern exposure.

Then I can plant a fig tree.....
 
My grandmother had a fig tree in her front yard in Texas and as kids from the Midwest we had never seen them before. Naturally, we found them DISGUSTING! and wouldn't taste them again after the first bite.

Now, of course, realizing again that youth is wasted on the young, I love fresh figs.
 
Fresh figs are probably my favourite fruit. Unfortunately they are only available here for about two months a year. Roll on August.
 
brown turkey seem the most popular variety here, though i hear celeste does well also. i love 'em, they're almost too rich - and, yeah, look out for the yellow jackets when grabbing them off the tree.
 
I had never tried fresh figs until I lived in Texas (the house I bought had a couple of fig trees in the backyard) and they were incredible!! I could eat myself sick! :lol:
 
I love figs!!

Some cultivated varieties of figs do not require the symbiotic wasp to fruit


It is the oldest domesticated fruit


and it is one of the most sacred


Mentioned in the Bible many times

and sacred to the Hindu and Buddhist
