hey david,

figs are very in season right now. almost heading out though. you'll mostly find delicious mission figs around here. figs are technically flowers from the ficus tree. most people i meet try and peel their figs, this is totally unnecessary, just hold onto the stemy tip at the top and put the whole thing in your mouth and bite down, the skin is actually pretty tasty and very very edible...figs couldn't exist without the help of tiny wasps that crawl into them through the opening at the fruit/flower's base...figs are my favorite fruit, figs have been cultivated by humans for over 7,000 years, figs and pistachio nuts is my favorite snack, figs are high in fiber and will keep you regular. figs figs freaking figs.

figs are also the sexiest fruit, with the pomegranate a close second.
