Just popped inside, wifey\’s watching a cooking show (not feeling well) and I heard the presenter asking a chef:
\”Why would I peel a fig?\”
My assumption is for the same reason we peel cows really.

Well you would want your grapes peeled if you were Ceaser wouldn’t you? You have to give all your slaves something to do or they will rebel and rise up against you. 🙂
Don’t peel your cow! That’s where all the vitamins are.
…or is that potatoes?
Do fig skins provide vegan leather?
Where’s the Rev. Spooner when you need him?
it’s like peeling apples…fig skins are quite edible but sometimes you just need the soft flesh without the added texture…..fnah fnah
Yet another reason to ignore all cooking shows other than “Two Fat Ladies” and “Jamie At Home”.
Peeled fruit is so 1970s dinner party. Break out the cheese and pineapple on sticks everyone!
Oh yeah, right, JamesV. Apple pie is just yummy when you have to be constantly picking bits of skin out of your teeth.
Peeling a fig results in all the flesh and seeds dropping out. In an inedibly under-ripe fig they will all stay together; a ripe fig, if peeled will tend to disintegrate.
So, may I ask whether it was a rhetorical question?
