  3. I would enjoy this. But I just got Annette to eat goat cheese, and not run from the room screaming it smells like dirty socks. I am not sure I can get her to eat figs and goat cheese together.

  4. I've never been one for goat cheese, but I would definitely try some other cheese!

  5. very nice video... I have had similar on fresh figs and you are right, wonderful... dried figs sometimes are too seedy for me, like dusted in sand, probably the type...

  9. Hi Claudia, I love hearing your voice, so nice. I just love figs. My grandpa used to bring them to the house all the time. I guess it is hard to find an Italian that does not like figs! Well, a great appetizer or snack. Blessings, Catherine xoxo
