This is an easy guess, I hear the pads are good eating. Have not tried the fruits or pads as of yet. Have you?

No, not yet. They look nice though, I might try grilling them first. I need to get over the mental aspect of it which is cactus= poison. Well, the plant anyway. Even though I know that all opuntia pads are edible, it's still a hurdle.
