Like an Early Fig Before Summer/ "as a first-ripe fig before summer"/ like hot cakes

Like a fig that is too early to ripen. In a recommendation in a question: Like something that everyone who sees it loves (in the beginning, a fig is heard in a basket that is too early to ripen before the harvest).

("And its fading blossom, the glory of his beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, is like an early fig before summer, which, when the beholder sees it, while it is still in his hand, he swallows it" - Isaiah 28:4)
