Answers:
If you've got fresh figs, I would recommend them with any of the following:
Balsamic vinegar/glaze
Prosciutto
Fresh goat's cheese
Good quality olive oil
Honey

Here's a list of some fig recipes from one of my preferred websites!.

Happy cooking!Www@FoodAQ@Com

the fabulous fresh fig
has made me a pig

a summertime treat
so succulent and sweet

that is eaten so neatly
and devoured completely

'cause no pits will be found
nor core to bite 'round

so gorge just like pigs
on fabulous fresh figs

but remember to share
with birds who are scared

of snakes in the trees
eating all birds they see

and you also must share
with wasps so beware

and even with bear
but that would be rare

they're easy to grow
there's little to know

cut a twig from the neighbor's
and with minimal labor

stick the twig in the ground
and water it down

it will soon make roots
growing green shoots

then wait a few years
after which you will cheer

as you eat fresh fig fruit
grown from your own shoot

you'll know what i mean
as you wipe your mouth clean

that the fabulous fig
has made you a pigWww@FoodAQ@Com

My favorite way is to eat them fresh, split into quarters, but not cut all the way through, just cut enough to make a little pocket!. Then I put a piece of blue cheese inside!. It's delicious! You can eat practically the whole thing, if there is a tiny hard part on the top of the stem, it won't hurt to eat it but I usually don't!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For me, fresh poached in wine as part of a main course or dessert or just plain dried!. Haven't tried eating the pit so can't tell you about that!.

Be warned though that figs often have insect eggs in them!. there is a certain type of wasp that uses figs specifically to lay their eggs!. And it's very difficult to tell which ones have the eggs and which ones don't!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The whole thing is edible!.

Best not to eat them, they look so horrible when you bite into them, like the alien from Alien!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

peeled
reduced in a sweet sauce made of sugar, vanilla bean and orange marmalade

:) throw it on some frozen yogurt and you've got yourself a delicious dessert!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The best way to eat a fig is with your mouth!. I don't recommend trying to ingest it through any other orifices!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
