The right way to eat figs in social situations. Just cut it into four petals, pinch the root, split it, and see four brilliant, rose-colored, succulent, sweet and blooming petals. Then peel off the skin and plunder the flower with the lips. But the vulgar way is to put the mouth directly close to the crack and bite it off with teeth. Fig is a fruit that can promote secretion. In Italian colloquial terms, it represents the private parts of a woman. Female vulva, that to the crack. The center and its juicy, moist. Just complicated enough to bend inward. There is only a small passage, and there are dense curtains that block the light. It emits a strange smell when fiddled with with your fingers. So even goats (perverts) won't taste it. When the fig has kept its secret long enough, it will split open, and through the crack, you can see the scarlet stuff inside. Then the fig year is over. This is how the figs end themselves. Show the crimson inside of her through this purple fissure. Like a wound, on the day of opening, revealing its own secrets. Like a prostitute, revealing the secrets of her body. That's how prostitutes end. This is also how women end up.
