Today @ KiwiBob's place, was the 2nd round of fig tasting. There was not quite the turnout that we had last Monday (Labor Day). I did meet some nice folks from the Seattle Fruit Tree Society . After the tasting was finished with , we headed over to 'Flying Squirrel pizza' to try their Black Mission fig  & Goat cheese pizza called the Figure 8. I have to say it was pretty tasty .

from L to R 

 TOP ROW  : Desert King, Gillette and Lattarula


MIDDLE ROW : Vashon Violet and Beall


BOTTOM ROW: Beall, Negronne and Tilbury's Turkey

Nice.  I wish I could be there.  How was the taste of Beall, Negronne and Tilbury's Turkey?  Is Beall as good as twe had last week?  What's the story about Tilbury's Turkey? 

Looks great!  Must have been fun to get together.

Scott, I picked up 2 Beall and about 20 DK figs, from Michael Dolan From 'BurntRidge Nursery' at the Olympia Farmers Market. Both of the Beall's that I picked up ,were larger and much sweeter than the one that you and I sampled on Monday.
KiwiBob's friend . For the life of me I can't remember his name . The one who brought the DK and Lattarula on Monday . He brought DK ,Lattarula and Negronne. His Negronne were 4x the size of KiwiBob's. They were pleasantly sweet, with a nice strawberry jam type flavor.

There were only 2 Tilbury's turkey. They were on the small side.  But the flavor was outstanding, kind of  like a raspberry with a hint of lime . 

While I was learning about detecting fetal neural tube defects and cardiac anomalies in the first trimester, you all were eating figs without me :(

Glad you guys had fun.
