Figs for lunch by Xerones on our Flickr photo sharing group, some rights reserved
Fig season is upon us. But be careful how you go - contrary to popular belief the leaf of the fig tree is not best employed to preserve modesty - the sap of the plant is an irritant and wearing one is not recommended.
Far better to eat the fruit from the tree - Nigel Slater is reflecting on figgy delights for this Sunday's Observer Magazine and we've decided to give you a preview along with this lovely photo, courtesy of Xerones on our Flickr photo sharing group.
The humble fig's combination of sweet and savoury flavours suggest a glut of culinary possibilities from figs with goats' cheese and peppered honey to whisky figs in chocolate. Share your favourite fig treats and recipes here.
