Michelle Darmody's favourite fig-based dessert recipes

Fig roll biscuit, biscuits pastry with figs fill

I love finding out silly, fun facts about food; peanuts are not really nuts, they are in fact a legume; a bunch of bananas is more accurately called a hand; or that strawberries are not berries at all. I do often get quizzical looks when imparting the knowledge unsolicited over a dinner table, but it usually matched with interest.
