[Rain Man]

I was at a party the other night, and it was really loud, and I have trouble hearing in the midst of loud crowds. Some server came around with hors d'ouvres (sp?) and it was this little oval thing that had a bunch of gooey looking red sauce on it, and I had no idea what it was. I asked her and she said something, but I couldn't hear a word of it, so I took one and popped it in my mouth.

It was absolutely delicious, but I still couldn't identify what it was. It was bacon-wrapped, but that was all I could discern. Whatever was wrapped had a unique flavor and was slightly juicy, and the sauce was a delicious flavor reminiscent of Chinese food.

Later, when the noise died down, someone mentioned the great hors d'ouvres (sp?) and I described what I ate and asked about it. Apparently it was bacon-wrapped fig in some sort of ginger barbecue sauce.

Man, that was good. If I had known what it was, I probably wouldn't have even tried it since I typically don't like fig.
