We were getting some dolls out for a visitor when we saw this curious object in the same box.
We didn’t think it looked like a doll at first, but on closer inspection it is indeed a figure. Before we tell you, can you guess what it’s made from?

The first part of the number, is also the date in which it was acquired by the museum.

The ancient tradition of drying figs in Calabria
Figs are a unique fruit resembling a teardrop. They’re about the size of your thumb, filled with hundreds of tiny seeds, and have an edible purple or green peel. The flesh of the fruit is pink and has a mild, sweet taste. The scientific name for the fig is Ficus carica.
Tumblr media
The Dottato fig variety (or Kadota in the US) is the most common in Calabria and is usually found from the 2nd week of August into September (it’s also my personal favorite). The Dottato fig has green skin and a white / golden interior. The flesh is creamy, sweet, and bright tasting. The dottato fig variety is also a good choice for drying.
Tumblr media
In Southern Italy's Calabria dried figs are a centuries-old tradition, which came here alongside with the Phoenicians. The particular environmental situation of Calabria has created special conditions which in other areas of Mediterranean were impossible.
Figs — and their leaves — are packed with nutrients and offer a variety of potential health benefits. They may promote healthy digestion, decrease your risk of heart disease, and help you manage your blood sugar levels.
Dried figs are high in sugar and rich in calories, as the sugar becomes concentrated when the fruits are dried.
Calabrian crocette are dried figs stuffed with almonds or walnuts and then baked in the oven with a pinch of cinnamon and a touch of your favorite liqueur. They can be consumed as is or covered with a thin layer of chocolate. They must, however, be stuffed and closed according to tradition. Each crocetta is made of four figs opened in half and held together. They are overlapped with another open fig so as to form a cross – hence the name. At this point they are stuffed and closed with two other half-opened dried figs.

Happy Wednesday!
Ingredients (serves 4):
half a dozen prunes
4 large dried figs
1/3 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup good quality Cognac or Brandy
3 rashers smoked streaky bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
half an onion
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 cup cooked wheat berry
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
4 beautiful quails, prepared and gutted
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
2/3 cup good quality Cognac or Brandy
The day before, pit the prunes. Place prunes, dried figs and dried apricots in a bowl. . Add the Cognac. Stir to mix well. Cover with cling film, and leave to soak, at room temperature, overnight.
The next day, heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon rashers, and fry, a couple of minutes on each side. Remove bacon from the skillet, keeping the bacon fat in the skillet, and transfer to small plate. Set aside.
Add olive oil to the skillet.
Peel and finely chop onion, and stir into the skillet. Cook, about 3 minutes, until tender. Add coriander seeds, and fry, a minute more.
Cut Cognac-soaked prunes, figs and apricots in small dices, and stir into the skillet. Cook, a couple of minutes more.
Roughly chop bacon, and return to the skillet. Cook, another minute.
Stir in cooked wheat berry, and cook, a couple of minutes. Season with fleur de sel and black pepper.
Gradually stir in half of the remaining Cognac from the soaked fruit. Reduce heat to medium, and cook a couple of minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
Season the inside and outside of the quails with fleur de sel and black pepper, rubbing them in gently. Drizzle remaining fruit Cognac into each quail, rubbing it in and all over the birds.
Generously stuff the quails with Cognac-soaked fruit and wheat berry mixture. Secure it in with a toothpick, to close the gap.
Arrange stuffed quails onto a roasting tin, and rub each generously with softened butter. Pour half of the Cognac at the bottom of the tin, and place in the middle of the hot oven.
Roast, at 200°C/395°F, 1 hour, regularly basting with Cognac and roasting juices. About half-way through, pour in remaining Cognac at the bottom of the tin.
Serve Cognac Quails hot, with Roasted or Butter Parsnips.
