Funfact you didn't want to know today:

Figs are technically not vegan (nor vegetarian) as during the (highly complex) pollination process some fig-wasps have a wild time in the fruit, where eventually some of the wasps die and get absorbed by the fruit.




The wasp is completely digested. You're no more eating a wasp when eating a fig, than you are eating grass when eating beef.


Hmm ... how does that work? We are obviously not eating cow stomach when eating a steak?


Hmmm...I see you've never had menudo or haggis :-)

(Yes, I know tripe is not really stomach.)
