I've 'et some of that prickly pear, and it tasted like dish soap.

Maybe you just didnt have a good recipe.

No recipe. Fresh. Take pocket knife & skin it, pulling off the stickers. Yuck. I made good with a mud puddle, though.

Achtung!!

only if you dont take the spines off lorfugtig.

I've seen some nice vests made by Navajo that used Yucca. Pretty good stuff!

That sounds cool Carl! I'll have to image google that and try to see some pics of one. Thanks for the info.

If you take miracle fruit before the cactus it will taste meaty. In fact, it will make anything palatable, even moss, grass, trees. They call it an acid trip for your tongue. Watched that on Future Food (on Planet green) yesterday. If you really want to eat anything out there you should check out this berry . Sorry They arn't showing the full episode on Planet Green website yet, but they should be showing reruns on tv since it aired on Tuesday.
