Figs are way better than apples which are very popular for some reason. They're at least as tasty as a banana. I actually think the average fig is better than the average strawberry. Too many big bland strawberries.
You haven't had the right apples. Some types of apple are the perfect mix between sweet and sour and very aromatic and fresh. Most apples however tastes like water, just chewier.
Again what you call the average strawberry is just the bland industrialized abomination that we get: tasteless no flavor whatsoever. Real strawberries can be considered the kings of the fruitkingdom. Just like the lion in the king of the jungle the humble strawberry is the king of the fruit isle.
Figs, on the other hand... even at their best they are... "alright I guess"
Of the many dozens of different apples I've had, none have deserved to be as popular as they are. I suspect people just like the crunch; flavor-wise I'm unimpressed. The best thing about apples is apple pie.
I have had many great and terrible strawberries. I think the average is disappointing. The best are indeed kings and better than figs. Maybe I've just been lucky with figs, but they've all been better than the average strawberry. My personal favorite is a plum but to get a plum that's better than the best strawberry is exceedingly difficult.
