Pricklybug

Day 118/365

I saw a pretty prickly pear in the grocery store and had to get it. I've never consumed one, nor seen a cross-section, so we bought one...three weeks ago.

Today, I found the lone prickly pear wrapped in a plastic bag, shoved in the back of the refrigerator behind the baking soda and that rusted jar of something.

Bug cut the fruit open. The purple meat was firm, but with the beat-up way it looked on the outside, we decided against eating it.  I still don't know how a prickly pear tastes.
