Very unique post. I've tried many things, but never Prickly Pear Cactus. Looks great! Brats too.

That's what I like about your posts, expect the unexpected, I've tried cactus and I would think that is a good match with the brats. OOTB thinking for sure!

I see the cactus every time I go to the store, never tried them though. Not sure what they taste like? This cook would be a good test for them.

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks guys!

Not sure what they taste like?

Tim, they have a lemony grassy kind of taste... quite unique actually.

I'm going to have to give nopales a try. I bet your dog enjoyed the dog. Very nice meal.

Looks good Jim! So after eating Cactus do you pull out the needles from your lip with your long nosed pliers?

Nice!
Nice twist on the brats by putting nopales.

The more I see the cactus in the store, the more I wonder how to use it. Your plate looks superb.

Cut up the cactus into bite size pieces, take some bacon grease and pan fry the cactus till done, then add some eggs and scramble all together for an awesome breakfast.
