IMHO, figs are naturally sweet.  They're eaten whole.  The inside is full of tiny seeds which have a slightly (to me) sandy texture.  There is a lush taste to them, rather like "brown" if "brown" was a flavour.

 Do Fig Newtons give an accurate impression of the taste of fresh figs?  :orly:

I think the dough wrapper throws off the taste a bit.  If you just eat the filling it should be fairly similar.

^Lucky thing, you look fine both ways. :) I wear my glasses 99% of the time so I think I look odd without them.
:plus: for the pics.

Thank you, QV and Jack. Fresh fig?

Um, looked for ripe ones a couple of times in late Summer but none. I thought. But oinky doinky, the fig tree lost quite a bit of her leaves and tadaa.. found 11 of them. Just overlooked them earlier or maybe due to warm-ish weather as of late they riped a bit further.

I tend to make a nice dessert with them.. by peeling of their skin and 'blender' them with honey and a pinchlet of salt. Served with quark/soft curd cheese. Could go gay.. and drop a fresh leave of mint on it..  :P

Oh wow.

Coveting your fig plant.

Neither stoned nor depressed; that's just my default expression.
