Just picked this one a couple of nights ago, perhaps needed another day on the tree.  Slightly tough skin, slight figgy flavor & seed crunch, maybe a hint of melon flavor (?) and not sweet.  Not bad just not sugery sweet.  I liked it.  Sorry, I couldn't rotate the photo of the fig eye.

Picked another one today which was much riper.  Very noticeable honey flavor and consistency.  Much better than the first fig.

Hey - I'm Italian: I'm use to too many vowels. This Krmk got no vowels. So, how do you pronounce it? I want to buy a vowel, please.

The figs are from a family that are Montenegro-Americans. They were originally from Montenegro on the Adriatic sea, but the figs are from their Italian-American neighbors in the Bronx, NYC. Its pronounced Kre-mik with the K sound of Kelloggs.

Ahhh, thanks for providing the pronunciation, Pete.  It makes it much easier to remember the variety, at least for me it does.  Thanks again.
