My neighbour tells me she has used the leaves for cooking - from a small
sapling that grew on her side of the fence. My wife said that she would
probably be wearing the leaves next week (she gets confused between Laurel
which you can wear as a crown and Fig leaves - which serve a very different
purpose) - but again I digress .... :-)

A suitable aide-memoire is that you wear fig leaves beforehand and
laurel afterwards - if you deserve the latter.
