called the figpecker, that eats of course, mainly figs . The Greeks pickle them , which produces of course , pickled figpeckers.

I have the recipe in an old Greek cookbook but am not inclined to try and find it right now.

Instead I will also contemplate the beauty of the world and the amazing capacity of the human species to create delicacies from the most varied substances and of such astounding names.

I'm not a figpecker, nor a figpecker's son; but I'll peck your figs 'til the figpeckers come. eppur_se_muova Jul 2024 #3
