APPEARANCE 4 out of 5 stars

Dark brown, blending to green, nice bright red center pulp.

AROMA 2.5 out of 5 stars

Mild and grassy.

TEXTURE 2 out of 5 stars

Thready, soft, and a little mealy.

TASTE 2.5 out of 5 stars

Not particularly sweet, very mild, almost bland but pleasant I suppose although I wouldn’t say I like it.

OVERALL 2.75 out of 5 stars

This seems like a very middle of the road fig, nothing to go on about but at least it isn’t off putting.  I might try this again if it was grilled up and doused in a bunch of other flavors like honey and ricotta, or mashed up in a cookie. Mmm – cookies.

NOTES

This person claims there are two schools of fig eaters/lovers — those who like Brown Turkey Figs and those who don’t.  I can’t tell if I like them or not from re-reading what I wrote above so I guess that makes me some sort of non-committal third school. Here is a lot more info about figs and a list of many varieties.
