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

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

These are easy to find, and do have some edible parts..............But its Yucca !!
 Its flower is the state flower for New Mexico.

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

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
