Have you ever eaten cactus? 🌵

[SkyKnight03]

I haven't eaten cactus. I would love to drink cactus juice with sokka though.

 

[Halloqueen]

I've never eaten cactus, no. I would be open to trying it sometime though.,

 

[Coach]

I've had the cactus fruit red bull, but that's all. That was ok! I'd be interested in trying, definitely.

 

[Aerith]

I think I've had cactus juice mixed in with other things, but I haven't had cactus by itself. I'd be down to try!

 

[Midoriya]

No, and it doesn't sound appetizing to me.

 

[Snek]

I haven't eaten cactus. I would love to drink cactus juice with sokka though.

Fun fact: the cactus juice in Avatar: The Last Airbender is based off of the real world psychedelic cactus peyote. I am not here to advocate drug use of any kind but I just wanted to add the inspiration behind the decision in the series.

 

[Aniko]

No, I need someone to teach me first. I think I saw some in store but I wouldn't know what to do with it.

 

[Sharksheep]

I've eaten prickly pears and dragon fruit. Does that count They part of a cactus
I never had nopales but I wanted to try but too afraid to order it myself at the restaurant cause what if I don't like it.

 

[Croconaw]

I don't. I wasn't aware this was even a thing.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

I've never had cacti.. but it sounds like something I'd want to try at least once! ^_^

 

[Mokuren]

I had cactus fruit before but not cactus. So I voted for no. I am interested how it tastes tho!

 

[Liz!]

I have never eaten cactus. Didn't know you could.

 

[Shawna]

I didn't know it could be a food. Well, I guess you learn something new every day. XD

 

[Iris_T]

Haven't taste it and wasn't aware of the option.. maybe I will some day??

 

[Tude]

Absolutely not. My dad would boil them when I was a kid and they smelled HORRID. I can still remember that stench.

 

[oath2order]

Yeah, it was pretty good. The marinade it was in was pretty good but the cacti itself was good.

 

[Nika]

Not yet but wouldn't mind to try

 

[ali.di.magix]

No, I don't think it's readily available here? I have heard of dishes and foods that use it though. Would like to try it someday!

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

No but that sounds very interesting!! I think the closest thing I've had to it (which probably isn't close at all) is bamboo shoots.. not bad

My boyfriend was just telling me about cactus salad the other day! I didn't know it was a thing until just recently, but it makes sense. I mean, there are lots of other strange sounding foods in the world. Why not use all the parts if as plant that you can, if it's edible? Makes me wonder though - who was the first creature that looked at some things and thought, sure I'll eat that!

Lotus seeds
Tapioca
Sea cucumber
Tripe
Gelatin (hooves)
Escargot

I mean, this is just a short list of the things I can think of of the top of my head, and only ones I find tasty! (And doesn't include any of what I would classify as truly weird foods, like stuff they dare people to eat on quiz/game or reality shows)
