love figs myself as well, eat them whole, skin and all
grew up with all sorts of fruits that my parents had - figs, loquats , green gages, pears and all sorts of plums
I drank fig leaf tea for the first time a few weeks ago (amazing taste, like it better than normal tea) A guy i used to work with bought a small farm near the swan valley. I suggested he rip up his juicing oranges (operating at a loss) and replace them with figs, the small tree he had was the best I had ever seen, covered in fruit and only 5ft high
