Fresh Figs?

[pirate]

Uh. Fig Newtons? I dunno. My grandma always ate them plain.

Mmmm. Figs.

Goat cheese, fresh baguette, fig. Mmmm

Or sharp cheddar, walnut, baguette and fig. Mmmm.

Sometimes I eat them just by themselves. Sometimes sliced over Greek yogurt with some honey.

I love figs

You can bake with them. You can make jam.

They are excellent sliced into salads with some goat cheese and a vinaigrette.

You can put them on pizza.

You can serve them halved with a cheese tray.

If you need to foist them on someone, find an older Italian or Greek person, they will love you.

This thread is making wish I had a bunch of figs.

I like them with fresh cream and sugar

[birkbop]

do they do the same thing as cherries

[kellbell191]

You make jam and then you stuff them with blue cheese and roast them.

Holy hell am I jealous

Stuff with goat cheese and wrap in bacon.

Fresh figs are my favorite! I just eat them like you did, but they are also great with cream or goat cheese on crackers. When my grandfather moved to the United States from Italy 48 years ago, he brought a branch from his fig tree in his pocket. Now a lot of my family have fig trees which grew from branches of his. It was illegal, but we still love the trees and they remind us of him.

All of the above. However, this is one of my favorites though I use smoked gouda and wrap in prosciutto and skewer with rosemary. They are freaking delicious like smokey sweet salty candy. Mmm.

If I ever have excess and they're about to go off, I just make a quick jam and use w/ brie on apples or pears.

Damn I love figs.

I'm scared to ask but wtf is this?

ALSO: H made chocolate covered figs with sea salt (i think), anyway, they're amazing.

If you want to keep liking figs, then I don't want to tell you, lol. I won't be the one to ruin them for you.
