Hi Grant,
thx for the change of topic...was hoping u would not get offended.. us messing around ur post:)
well, the eggplant vegetable, is translated as 'vazAni' βαζάνι in cy (and 'melintzAna' μελιντζάνα in greek btw), melanzana rings a bell btw? so the fig 'vazanato' singular, vazanata in plural, is named as such due to its colour which is similar to an eggplant. the shape is round though...
i have attached a pic in my earliest post with one vardiko and one vazanato next to each other, also with their cross-section...
and i also attach here two screenshots from a report (on cultivation of figs) of the agricultural ministry of cyprus ...
if u read greek u can see also the text... fig matures from mid august till end october... could go further to mid nov if u ask me...its caramel/pink/reddish inside.. but fig has several variations here in the island, and generally people tend to name all big black figs as vazanata.. if u dont do gene's analysis u can never be certain of what u have at hand...
btw i prefer vardika, vazanata tend to be kinda watery..
