Take a fig.

Okay, take about 8 of them.

And take 8 strips of thick-cut, maple-smoked, peppered organic bacon, the best you can find.

Wrap the fig in the bacon, secure with a toothpick, and place on a pan.

Roast at 425F for about 25 minutes, checking after about 15 minutes.

I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Does this fig hold a wasp? That's an enigma, wrapped in mystery, wrapped in bacon.

You forgot to first make a small lengthwise cut in the fig, and fill it with blue cheese. Then wrap it with bacon, secure with a toothpick, and put it on the bbq.

Don't forget to also drizzle with honey and cracked black pepper.

For the recipes, the sarcasm, or the intellectual banter?
