California, but amazingly I've never had a fresh fig. The closest I've gotten is a Fig Newton or two. Recently I noticed fresh figs at Trader Joe's. Because of this post when I go shopping this weekend, I'll be picking a bag up. Will let you know what I think. Anything with prosciutto and brie (or goat cheese) can't be bad!

There were in the most absurd, understocked grocery store in the world. I firmly believe that they ended up on the re-stock the grocery store truck by accident and the store manager didn't know what to do with them. I was so giddy. I bought the whole stinking flat. I am sure the clerk thought I was one odd duck. So...yes, you have every right to do your happy fig dance. And I am right there with you thinking evil thoughts about the rest of the "we have fresh figs all the time" population. Glare.... Beautifully done.

I had a vague idea that they existed, but they didn't really come into the forefront of my food consciousness until I moved to the east coast. So I also enjoyed my first figs this year!

I think I will have to pick up a few next time I'm at the market. BTW the plate in your photos is gorgeous!

You wouldn't want to give me that address would you? Just kidding, I know that you can get them fresh in CA quite easily, so I guess I will just have to hitch up my horses and head to CA...
