...and Prosecco.After peeling and eating my first terrace fig of 2008 I decided that waiting a year to do so again had been worth it.
The skin had a soft, velvetty, eminently bruisable texture that I have not found in store-bought figs. How can they possess it?: it was at the perfect point of ripeness, eaten not two minutes after being picked from its small branch (one minute was needed to pour the Italian bubbly - it was Friday after all)...
Like honey.
The photo of the 3 figs and glass is very "nature morte", very nice... Are there any ants on your figs?
ReplyDeleteI heard ants pollinate the figs... I also read that there is a fig wasp? Either way... that means you had an insect in your fig?
ReplyDeleteVince - I don't know...are there ants on yours???
ReplyDeleteRainey - the common fig has all-female fruit an requires no pollination.
