Ok. So I was at the store the other day and what did mine eyes behold?
ALAS! A CACTUS PEAR!
Do cactus pears taste good? Where do said pears even come from (other than from a cactus...) How do you eat these things? They don't have any spikes! Who shaves them off? What do you do with them? How popular could those things be?OH HOW CULTURAL!!!!
So I bought one.
And I peeled it like the lady said.
And I cut it open and it looked like this: ('twas a foreshadow of the nastiness to come...)
And I tried it along with ktln for moral/cultural support.
And it was... uh... TERRIFIC!
And if you believe that, I've got a bridge I want to sell you!
IT TASTED LIKE PLANT AND THEN IT TASTED LIKE NASTY!
So pretty much I can cross that off my "to-do" list. Take my advice: not worth it. Bleck. I immediately washed my mouth out with leftover chocolate pie and grape-raspberry Jell-o! That made everything better!
Maybe it wasn't ripe...Or maybe you should have bought several and made prickly-pear jelly!
