Hi Grub,
Hmmm. If I had to choose a vegetable for comparison, it would be green beans for taste and pursulane (sp?) or cooked aloe for texture. If it is cooked properly it is still a little crisp. If over cooked, then it is slimy. Prik-lee (the P word can't be used here, so I am forced to misspell) Pear Cactus is also made with scrambled eggs (I HATE), diced with meat (I like), in stews, such as mole, Chile Verde (I like). Be very carefully with the splinters on the fruit. They are as thin as hairs and can do some serious damage. I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Angelique
