You pick them only when the neck bends. There will be a noticeable droop. They will be soft. There should be no milky sap when the skin is broken. Wash them gently, pat dry and bite from the blossom end. You can eat the entire fig up to the stem.
Wrap whole or halved figs in ham. Prosciutto is very nice. Maybe a fume blanc with them.
Cut a few in large dice and serve over ice cream or custard. I prefer custard because the ice cream is too cold for the delicate taste of fresh figs.
You can drag the blossom end in melted milk chocolate. I think dark chocolate is too strong.
