thank you all for your kind words. @ enigma tabahana was a village near ancient olympia ( αρχαια ολυμπια ) figs ware from there... at some point the villagers left and relocated near patras,( i dont know why) i guess they took some cuttings with them. the fig is known mostly in pirgos and patra. there is a neighbourhood near patra that has that name. ταμπάχανα I hope this helps. __________________ andreas-patras Patra Peloponnisos Greece zone..9a

@ pitangadiego i dont like yellow skin figs because of the pale flesh.. i fell in love with this one because its dark red, mysterious and unexpected. ;-)) @ FigAlot thank you. @ Enigma i assumed you knew what ohra (ωχρα) ment, for the rest of the friends here ohra is pale or yellow in color,. __________________ andreas-patras Patra Peloponnisos Greece zone..9a

Hey Andreas, looks do not mean to much to me, it's the taste that counts. They could be light, dark, pale flesh, dark red flesh, oldies, newly named but really oldies, and real newly found one of a kind, it doesn't matter as long as the taste is excellent. Give me the UGLIES with a 10 taste.

@ enigma file mou ithela na katalavoun kai oi alloi poio einai to onoma. se esena egrapsa mono gia ta tabahana giati iksera oti to allo tha to katalaveis. pes ston pethero sou (an theleis kanena apo ta sika pou exo) opos pernaei apo patra na tou doso kana klaraki na sou ferei. filika αντρεας @ Wayne i am with you on that... some times... but you have to admit that after you had 15-20 figs in a day the only thing that could make you go for just one more... is looks!!! (taking as a given that taste is close to 10) __________________ andreas-patras Patra Peloponnisos Greece zone..9a
