The wearing of fig leaves is hot.

So hot. Caramelized and stuffed with goat cheese.

Fig-based colognes are also v. hot, such as Marc Jacobs.

Not true - A couple years ago when I lived in a brownstone in Brooklyn , our next door neighbor had two huge fig trees in his garden. He had planted them 20 years ago and had cared for them tenderly for the first ten. Now that they were mature, they flourished all on their own.

I've never had figs. What do they taste like?

I have an odd association with the word, when I hear "figs" I think of Cleopatra because she had the asp hidden in a bowl of figs (or fig leaves...is there a difference?)

Yes, a fig is a fruit. A fig leaf is a leaf.

I figured that much. LOL
I just didn't know if the leaf would be attached to the fig (like the leaves on a strawberry)or if it was an entirely different thing.

I think figs might be one of those "love them or hate them" things.

They have a very interesting texture- soft and fleshy, but sticky from the sugar (if dried), and full of tiny, crunchy seeds.

I am at a loss as to describing the actual flavour- but it's definitely exotic.

The bet way to eat a fig is a fresh one rather than a dry one. They are very fragile and I raely see them here on the East Coast. My brother has a fig tree in his backyard in California and I enjoy plucking one right off the fine and eating on the sup spot when it is still warm from the sun.

I can't stand figs.
I prefer dried apricots, cranberries and pineapple.
And yellow raisins.
I heard it through the grape vine.

Figs are divine, especially the greenish yellow figs with pink insides. Italians love figs and, as such, the neighborhood gardens were loaded with fig trees. I notice with the influx of Asian's buying houses here, the fig trees are being cut down. I guess they don't like figs. Oh well.....sigh. Fig preserves rock!
