Although I'm not a lover of figs for their wonderful taste, consistency, etc as you described, I am an almost-completely-hooked lover of them for their medicinal quality(which you seem to indicate they aren't proven to have!). I have found that for 3 consecutive times they have seemingly cured a severe cough. I tried them after reading in a magazine at a doctor's office that they were good for respiratory diseases! So just thought I'd pass that along for your readers.<BR/> By the way, figs' wonderful and perfect qualities that you describe must be ascribed, not to "botany", but to their perfect, ultimate-in-creativity Creator: God Himself!<BR/> Thank you for letting me in on your website!<BR/>-Rena Nunley(American in Brazil)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311174.post-1121371152097133652005-07-14T12:59:00.000-07:002005-07-14T12:59:00.000-07:00This recipe is superb!

The baked dish with figs and berries sounds very nice too. I will have a look for some berries when I go to the market and try it.
