Fresh Fig Sighting!

Yahoo, yahoo, I've seen my first fresh figs of the season at Whole Foods, both the Pearl Street and Superior stores. Last year, I was introduced to what has to be one of the greatest foodstuffs in the world, grilled pancetta-wrapped figs. Its name says it all; just wrap a fresh fig (maybe cut in half if it's big) in pancetta, skewer it, and grill until the pancetta is done. Eat before, during, or after a meal, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, as often as you can.
