Food identification needed

Thu, 05/3/12 10:45 PM
 Can anyone tell me the identity of the food item sitting on top of the pickle? Not paying attention, I bit in to it thinking it was an olive. It was full of little seeds and pickled in a brine. That thing on the left is it's stem. It has lines on it like a football. I've never seen one before.

 I'm not sure I'd eat one again. I'm not a fan of seeds. Eating a dry fig is a challenge. I would serve them, though. Maybe in a cocktail. I'll have to do some more investigating. Thanks all!
