OK, the response admits interpretations.  Maybe I got it wrong.

To me the most desirable fig is the one that is fully ripe and sitting in your hand, ready to be eaten.

I could have phrased it better.

No worries.  I was in a bad mood for reasons having nothing to do with you (or figs), so I was a biased reader.  My apologies for misinterpreting.

LOL Don't concerned. I was in a bad mood, too, because nerve pain was driving me bat-sh*t crazy - spinal cord injury to my neck caused by a nice you gentleman who was addicted to smack and decided I could benefit from being smacked in the face with an axe. Never mind, onwards and upwards! lol
