to eat the fig skin

[Verticalvenetianblinds]

apparently i should have peeled it. but its soft, like apple peel? and if i peel it all the seedy bits fall out!
who's in the wrong? me (non peeler) or work colleague (peeler)

its a quiet night

I always eat the skin, pile of pips of you peel it?

Non-peeler here. Life's too short

I always thought you had to discard the skin but I read recently that most people eat it!

My family were peelers but it's more common to not. If you order a salad with figs in a restaurant it comes with peel about you eat the whole thing

You eat all of the figures. The burst of teeth through the outer skin is crucial

I always eat it. Why would you not? It is soft so it is pleasant to eat and full of fibre and vitamins.

The fig goddammit the fig

i washed it and tucked in, she couldnt believe her eyes! its not like an orange....
(does anyone eat orange peel?)

Orange peel in fruit cake or candied

I eat it, had no idea there were people who didn't. Yum, I haven't had them in ages but love figs wrapped in parmesan stuffed with blue cheese or creme fraiche with horseradish.

lol i meant parma ham, not parmesan

in season at aldi :)

Lol parmasan and blue cheese... Why not?

cheesy figures!

My DH eats orange peel, but he's a bit odd.

Mmmmmm. Ripe fresh figs. I just nip off the stalky bit at the top and tuck in. You can't peel fresh figs. Good, ripe ones are so expensive if you peeled them you'd be left with nothing except a load of purple mush. Anyway, the contrast of slightly chewy skin and soft pippy centre is what makes them delicious.

apparently work colleague peels mushrooms to? i just rinse the mud off!

Peels mushrooms? She/He's a bellend

She

If I saw her peeling mushrooms I would find if v hard not to laugh

I don't even rinse mushrooms, just give them a wipe. And I don't eat orange peel but I do pass many a happy hour by making Dick Emery style false teeth out of them.

I eat kiwi skin. Apparently most people scoop out the inside with a spoon?
And yes I eat fig skin. And mushroom "skin".

I eat fig skin, but not orange peel and you should never rinse mushrooms, they get all waterlogged! I just brush with kitchen towel but if you want to be fancy I'm sure theres an overpriced brush that'll do the job in your local cookware shop ;)

Ew at eating kiwi skins though!

People eat Kiwi skin? That must feel like tucking into a fully engorged bollock! No thanks!
