Margaret gave me a Seggiano Baked Fig Ball for Christmas. She knows me well. It was wonderful.
Melvin Bragg in his book 'The Book of Books' mentions how David, saved an abandoned Egyptian slave of maurording Amalekites with part of a fig ball.
1 Samuel 30
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
King James Version 1611.
