Have some fresh figs in the fridge which mrs cloudnine bought.. Because i like fig biscuits. But the best way to eat / cook / bake etc figs is???
Edit.. I dont have an 'Artisan' pizza oven if thats whats needed....
I've put them into [url= http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/22/hugh-fearnley-whittingstall-honey-peanut-butter-bars-recipes ]this boost bar recipe[/url] with great results
Slice in half and baste with honey, bake in oven at 200 degrees, toast some sliced almonds in a dry heavy weight frying pan, throw on top and eat with a scoop of full fat greek greek yoghurt - lush!
Stuff with Foie Gras and wash down with a good sweet wine.
That boost bar recipe looks great.. The somafunk baked figs looks a winner.
Fois gras production is banned in this country for a reason...
What somafunk said. Even better with a splash of amaretto, and pine nuts and mascarpone instead of almonds and yoghurt.
Slice off the top, quarter the fig, place an equal sized piece of mozzarella next to it, wrap in a quarter of a piece of Parma ham, drizzle with a little EV olive oil, add a little cracked black pepper, skewer with a fork and eat whole.
You can make some nice salads with fresh figs, lots to be found on Google, for example: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/fresh-pear-and-fig-mixed-green-salad-recipe.html
Parma ham, or your air dried ham off choice, and figs go well together.
EDIT: As Daffy has already suggested.
Put in mouth and chew = fantastic 😉
Chop them and stick them in a casserole dish with a lump of beef, garlic, onions, apples and red wine and leave in the oven for a long time.
Cut out the middle man and just flush them down the bog.
Just eat them, like an apple. That's what I do with them anyway.

Is it easy judging which bit of the fig to discard, or do you play Russian roulette with your apples, eating them whole and giving yourself a nice dose of cyanide? 😆

That's pretty much what I do usually, too. Straight off the tree 🙂
Make figgy pudding? It's nearly Christmas after all.
eat them fresh off the tree when they're ripe and juicy.... yum (have 2 huge fig trees)
no wasps either.... :p
The better half makes Naked-esque bars. Something like this: http://www.wifemamafoodie.com/raw-fig-and-nut-bars/
Don't give one.
