ode to the fresh fig

What looks like raw hamburger, grows on a tree and tastes sweeter than a bowl of chocolate frosted sugar bombs?  Yes my friend, fresh figs.  Last weekend I discovered fresh, ripe figs on the huge fig tree out back at our place in Vancouver.  Our landlords, greek, planted this thing when when they bought the house and now every summer (particularly the hot, sunny ones) this tree bears the sweet bounty of plump juicy figs.  A fresh fig extravanza!  You must try it out.

Find a tree.  Pick a slightly yellow, mushy one.  Split it open and suck the raw-hamburger-looking inards out so that the juices run down your face. 

If the inards look like hamburger that's really "off" then you have found an especially tasty treat.  The mushier the better. mush on.
