Lived in the Southwest pretty much my entire life and could never talk myself into eating that cactus. Don't know anyone else who eats it, either - White, Mexican, or Indian (feather not dot).

Geez I don't know on that one boon? I had to look up what the hell Nopolitas was. Now I like different foods but the comment sections said they kind of taste like a cross between road kill and shoe leather?

I'll eat all kinds of stuff that scare most peeps. To be honest with you I would eat road kill if I seen it happen & the state of Texas allowed it. I've seen lots of high dollar Axis deer get hit & lay to rot or feed the coyotes & vultures. The shoe leather is defiantly someone who doesn't have a clue. I just finished the leftovers off with eggs scrambled into it.

I've had nopalitas with potatoes. Thought they were pretty good.

I knew a guy who would keep his police scanner on just to listen for reports of deer/car collisions. Then he'd hop in his truck and go out to the scene to see what he could salvage. He was happy if he got half a deer. When I was still living in Arizona, I saw a deer get nailed as I pulled into work, one day. Called my brother-in-law to come and get it, as I knew he was off that morning. Before he could get there, a couple state workers in a DOT dumptruck stopped and started field dressing it. In fact, I have some road kill venison tenderloins in my freezer..... |

In hard time ranchers with burn the needles off to feed cattle. I use to use a cactus burner to fire up the pits when I cooked whole hogs. |

I'd eat it without any sauce. I'm up for almost any vegetable. I don't care for Mexican food because of the spices.
