Foraged some amazing figs today! They are slightly sunburnt so people don't buy them. This doesn't affect flavour its purely cosmetic.
this is the variety...

many Fig trees around Portland Oregon...Southeast.... September....most of the figs are rotton on the sidewalks as people walk bye eating chips and COKE.
Oh its sad isn't it Darrick? The strangest thing to me is when I receive disapproving looks from passers by as i am picking a tree (that's hanging over a persons fence) & dropping fruit all over the sidewalk....it seems like some would prefer to see the fruit rot :(
Awesome give us a call tonight if you have a chance? DOn't ask me about your phone number...Can you tattoo it on my forehead when we catch up?
Went fig-picking last night - got about 45kg
Yes I do consider Durians an overt fat
-Yes I feel better doing a period of no overt fats (without Durian) although if i am exercising vigorously daily then I feel great with durians as well.
Speaking of overt fats....whoops! I decided to have a beautiful 'Seedling' avocado that Clint picked of his farm in Nth Qld (soon-to-be raw retreat), he brought it back......OMG it was amazing! Like creamy sweet butter....check out this baby!!
So, inspired by Free's radiant loveliness and all the fig love on this thread, I bought 4 today, even though they never usually taste as good as I imagine. Of the 4, 1 was completely delicious, 1 kind of bland and 2 dry and inedible. They were all soft and dark purple on the outside. What's the secret to finding the good ones?

I love eating the skin but because i eat such quantity my mouth starts to sting (yes probably a sign to stop eating!) so I just eat the insides mainly.
