Chris Addison	Hello there, I'm an experienced figroll consumer, often having 4 a day, in addition to other biscuits. However, there's something about figrolls that confuses and worries me. Normally, a biscuit goes soft when left out of it's protecting biscuit tin. Instead, figrolls go hard! Why is this? Hope you can answer this problem I'm having Many Thanks, chris addison Chemistry Department University of Cambridge
	Nicey replies: Don't be confused and worried. The high moisture content of the fig paste contributes to the crusts soft nature, and on exposure to the air this tends to dry out. Now there are some who would say that this makes the fig roll a cake, which it clearly isn't, and if nothing else it proves that there are always exceptions to the rule. Also if you are ever in France try out the Figolu. This mini fig roll does not have the required bulk to maintain its correct moisture content and so appears to have already gone stale by the time it gets put into its pack.
