Yum.
Although I suspect if any were alive in the figs we picked last week, they probably died when the chutney was made.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Most commercially grown figs are seedless varieties these days so you're very unlikely to eat a fig which had a wasp in it, unless it's home grown or from some small producerOriginally posted by ladymuck View PostComment

If you grow your own fruit and veg, you are routinely eating bugs even if you inspect things and especially if you aren't. I don't know what percentage of blackberries/raspberries have tiny maggots inside but it's quite common. If you put them in a bowl of water the amount of critters floating to the top is surprising and if you pick and eat fresh from the plant those are not getting removed.
All part of 'natural' growing - you just hope they're too small to notice

Reminds me of the lady in the Siliconix canteen who had half a slug in her BLT roll after taking a bite thereof: especially concerning with what slugs can carry.Originally posted by Zigenare View Post
