I must have eaten quite a large number of figs over the years, although I've certainly not tried to keep count. However, it's only very recently that I've discovered the joy of fresh figs.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the taste and texture of fresh figs is very different from that of dried ones (in the same way that, for example, raisins are very different from fresh grapes). The first ones I had were not quite properly ripe, but even so were quite nice. Properly ripe ones are wonderfully succulent and juicy.
Fresh figs are also quite interesting things to look at. Here's a
photo I took of one this afternoon:
If I remember before I eat it, I'll take a photo of what the inside looks like, as that's pretty interesting too.
