On Tuesday, in prep for flavor-tripping, we decided to shop at Co-opportunity to gather the foods to trip on. During the 2-3 block walk there, we ran across some girls on a ladder picking ripe, tasty figs off a tree growing on the street — who waved us over and put yummy figs in our hands. Thus, figs were included in the flavor-tripping adventure.

The lessons here: 1) Walk, don’t drive. 2) Eat things strangers give you (actually, I happened to know Sara Laimon, one of the fig pickers), and 3) Foraged fruit’s delicious.

Regardless — You can dine on harvested and foraged fruits and veggies on Wednesday, thanks to the fruity peeps at Fallen Fruit and Clockshop.
