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

wouldnt eating kiwi skin be like having pubes in your teeth?!

You two have very similar minds

the golden kiwis are quite smooth tho, no pube problems there

Mushrooms definitely need wiping with a damp kitchen towel or such. Don't they grow in poo?!
As for figs, eat whole no peeling.

I always eat fig skin, but not the woody, stalky bit at the top. Can't eat peach skin, but do eat plum and nectarine skin.It would be very odd to peel it IMO.

Figs are a skin-on thing. Ooh I love fresh figs!

I used to peel mushrooms when I was young & didn't know any better. Now I just give them a wipe to get any obvious dirt off.

Figs in Aldi you say?

Fig and mushroom- no peeling.

Kiwi- peel them!

Never occurred to me to peel a fig. Eat the whole thing, wasp corpse and all!

(Yes, they really do contain wasps: insufferablevegan.com/tag/are-figs-vegan/)

No peeling required.

God I bloody love figs.

Fig fig fig fig. I feel happy now.

I went to Aldi and bought figs, I just had to!

drigon do you peel peaches?!

Wasps?! No more figs here.

I peel mushrooms and kiwi but not peaches.

YA all BU to eat figs. They are the Devils testes and the last word in horrendousness. Along with dates, especially those dates concealed in cereals like muesli.
I do however, like a nice bit of orange/mandarin/satsuma peel.
I am also a bit odd.

Kiwi skins great for constipation! Eat the fig skin too of course

Pubes in your teeth ...natures own flossing threads

and spunk is good for sore throats according to my dh. its the gift that keeps on giving!

And you fell for that

On the original topic. DH is North African and his family have loads of fig trees in the garden in his home country. They don't peel them.

My boss used to eat kiwi skin - I tried it but it was like eating a tarantula! (Well not that I've tried that either but I just couldn't get the image out of my head!)

Do you have to gargle with it Vertie?

dh would have me believe every night a dose is good for your health. i, however, do not go along with that and yet, never have a sore throat?

Thank you so much for this thread. I am nearly 40 and had no idea how to eat a fig until now so I've avoided them. Now I can tuck in, skin and all without committing a faux pas!

I love figs but I hate fig rolls!

urgh fig rolls! what is the point. go far too soggy to quickly!
