My search for fig leaves is so far fruitless. I’ve found brined grape leaves, brined vine leaves, dolmades, and lingerie. And I’ve been to an Indian market, a Mediterranean market, an Asian market, Whole Foods, Cost Plus World Market, and called the cheese importers and the Truffle. I am beginning to despair.

I have a huge fig tree with abundant leaves and fruits(now is the season) grows in Louisiana like wild. I dont think you can find them in the market.
