The idea of 'Fresh Figs' was sold...Me too!<br /><br />The idea of 'Fresh Figs' was sold to me during the fabulous anarchic Hickling Regatta weekend. <br />'We have FRESH FIGS for breakfast!' the announcement came with glee.<br /> <br />While you tucked into a slap up breakfast, just down the road, I suffered. ‘Not for me,’ sums it up. Had I not missed your departure by minutes, I would have slapped you around the face shouting ‘NEVER EAT FRESH FIGS’ and perhaps you would have thanked me for it.<br /><br />Oh, the displeasure of a face that’s housing its first fresh fig. <br /><br />Had I been a little younger and a little less English, I would have spat it out. I didn’t. One week later, I fear that fig poison lurks in a hidden corner of my intestine, emanating a subtle evil. <br /><br />It should be illegal to promote the eating of fresh figs based on them coming anything close to tasty. They are a vitamin enriched laxative. Dried, fresh or window ripened... they are quite foul. <br /><br />Oddly, some people claim to like them.<br /><br />I feel a lifelong bond forming with you. Hope the renovation process is a delight to live with.Emily Fabpantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14859610313511390897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492442.post-63401818940621669002009-08-13T20:15:35.326+01:002009-08-13T20:15:35.326+01:00The award-winning post was as rightfully award-win...The award-winning post was as rightfully award-winning as it was heart-warming...how great it was to see you Dads out there!<br /><br />However..."Domesticity" and its subtly hilarious and very real nod to the giving nature of neighbours (and figs)...worth a comment.
