OK... the thread is back to normal I see. I left my ball here somepalce...
Back to food. We used to eat new prickley pares and the friut was made into a candy or a jelly. Usually in the spring after a rainstorm there would be new growth that was tender and edible.
Nopalitos and Tunas. My dad would bring some in from work and we would remove the spines and needles before preparing them for dinner or breakfast or lunch or all three.
Chayotes are decent eating stuffed or even just plain boiled---for a loooongnngg time. I have a vine in the yard right now---if the cold didn't kill it.
Nopalitos and Tunas are ok as well. Nothing like skunk.
