The message k
from Sacha contains these words:

I've often wondered whether unripe figs could be useful in chutney.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if the effect might not be a bit startling. Think Syrup
of Figs!

I've never found any elastic effect in stirrup of figses.

Hmmmm. Perhaps you eat a lot of eggs? Seriously, the effect of figs on the
system might not affect everyone but it's pretty well known. My guess is
that it's mild compared to e.g. senna but nonetheless marked!
