FYI

That stands for “fig your information”.

Have you ever had a fig sans newton? Me neither until last night. Let me tell you a few things about my first solo fig experience. First, they are ugly. They look like something that you might find rotting underneath a tree. So right off the bat I’m scared. They just don’t look healthy. I will admit to a bit of hesitancy in my first bite into the fig. Second, they taste like weak raisins. They have the same consistency and basically the same taste, just not as strong. It’s like eating a raisin after burning your tongue a day or two before. Third, they have way more of those little crunchy seeds in them than you are used to in the aforementioned fig newton.

So overall, they aren’t bad, just not much to them. I’m definitely not scared of them anymore, but I doubt I will find myself seeking them out for a snack, either.
