Last time I ate dried figs was like 20 years ago... was watching TV in bed
in a darkened room while noshing on dried figs. I was absentmindedly
pulling figs off that hard vine stem until I ate half the pack and then felt
somehing odd... turned on the bedside lamp and Aiiiiiii... crawling out of
the figs and all over my bed were these maggoty like woims, no wonder those
figs were so fuicy. I haven't eaten a dried fig since, never will again.
