fresh figs - they make a tasty snack, and the flavour is mild and pleasant. i can understand some people not enjoying the texture though.

awesome! what do you do with them?

i like to munch on them and i love me some preserves, but other than that, i haven't tried much else. do you use them in cooking or baking?

Mostly eat em fresh, but I've used them to make a filling to biscuits a couple of times. I just feel bad cooking down smth so fresh lol. Feel like it should be consumed raw and instantly. But I like em in salads or grilled up too!
