I've been enjoying fresh figs lately. I love them. I love the meatier exterior and mushy, stringy, seedy interior. I didn't grow up eating fresh figs, probably because they don't grow them in Oregon (as far as I know). I didn't really even know what a fig looked like outside of a Newton. I used to confuse them with dates, the same way I confused Star Trek with Star Wars.
LOL I ate my first fresh fig this year too. I always thought they were just something that came in a cookie. :)
