Yep! Darn good stuff!
For those of you that are asking about them, it's cactus fruit. Here's links to show you what they look like and the NutritionData fact sheet on them (looks incomplete!).

Yes, very much so.
From prickly pears you can make HFS by just squeezing.
From the seeds of prickly pears you can make an oil with the quality of olive oil but tasteless.
You can have your fill in Mexico, Australia, Turkey, USA, many more countries.

When I was a chef in Canada I would get cases and make sorbet with pomergranete juice, they are nice in a cold soup with strawberries.
I want to make chutney with them, even in a fruit based yougart with pineapple, it is something you just have to experiment with, but as stated there are some seed and occasionally they miss a spine when processing, but the high in vitamin C and low in fat.

I like the leaves fried up in an omelet (yes I'm an omnivore), but I'm not wild about the fruit.
