I don't have a clue of the variety but my guess is it's a breba fig. What ever it is, it's one helluva big fig!

Yes, Ottawan is correct. It's Matsui Dauphine. "Ma Si Yi" is the Chinese pronunciation.

That lady should learn how to eat a fig ... It is not an apple . One should tare the fig in two and eat each half at a time, and not do/behave like she does... throwing her head inside the fruit...

If you pause the video at 1:30, it looks like the fig is at least 50% white pulp and only a small pedicel chamber in the center. I prefer a fig with thin skin/pulp and mostly drupelets. Are big figs generally bigger because of thicker pulp? If so, I think I would prefer smaller ones. I've eaten thousands of figs over my life, but all from one tree. I usually at just the drupelets and discarded the rest. So, most of this fig would have been a waste for me.

Paul, I agree. Usually the larger figs do have a thicker white pulp section in my experience. My largest Panache fig last year did have a thicker white section than most of the fruits later in the season. Same for Sequoia. On the other hand, my 184-15 were consistently large and never had much of a white section.

I had a long Yellow and a black weeping that were just about that size.
