Cactus

¡Muy interesante! My friend managed to find this package of cactus at a local Food 4 Less, much to my surprise. So I went on to learn that cactus is apparently as much a staple in Mexican cuisine as something like green beans or cauliflower is in the states. I would never have imagined that. It's curious that I've never been exposed to cactus in any of the Mexican food I've had, all these years. Without having stumbled across this tidbit of new knowledge, I would have thought that cactus would have to be found at some upscale market and served in gourmet restaurants! More on the actual taste etc. in the next post...
