I´m learning, right?
Usually I´d politely said, "no, thank you", but... - it took me a sec - I said, "why, thank you, YES!", when our waitress´ boyfriend at Guido´s offered me a fig from Sicily.
(It was early, we were the only guests, there was time to spend together...)
That´s not my first fig, you know. Sami sure provided us with figs from her very own garden!
So, what was my reaction?
LOL!!!
I wanted to just take a hearty bite!
And got Italian "no-no-no-no!!!!"
Oh, help, what?! I so had to laugh!
There are figs and there are figs, these... from Sicily...
...you have to peel!!!
I never knew!
Not as sweet, but yummy also.
And the memories involved sure are priceless :-)
So... whenever you get a fig, ask where it´s from :-)
(I remember a former friend of Ingo who wanted to take a hearty bite just like that from an avocado and my ex-boyfriend went to a grocer to buy lasagna-leaves - that´s what they´re called in German, leaves - at times we´re all so.... uncultivated, it "hurts" ;-)... ).
Lion of the day, feel free to pick:
At a restaurant in Neue Strasse.

That's a gigantic fig. I eat my figs peel and all :)
I like the waiter lion, very cute.
Yup, peel and all :-)
How was I supposed to know it can be different? Ohhh, help (I had).
NOw THAT's a good tip!
I can't eat for another 20 minutes because of meds and seeing that pizza is making my stomach jump around! It looks delicious!
Oh, Jeanie, sorry!!! A pizza zakes about 20 minutes, so... go for it!
Hope no bad meds?
I've never had figs.
Oh, try, they´re yummy!
Have had only dried figs. That pizza is appetizing too!
They´re fresh much better, figs! And yes, that is real Italian Pizza :-)
Sami's figs were indeed delicious Iris. Gosh the pizza looks delish. I've started the Keto (you can Google) diet, if I have pizza it has to have a cauliflower and cheese base.. seriously 😀😀
Keto is quite extreme, Grace, wow, I´m not that consistent ;-)
But cauliflower sure is very yummy and healthy and who can say no to cheese (or figs) :-)
That pizza does look delicious.
All the best Jan
It always is!
