Re: Prickly Pear soda
None of the figs from prickly pear I have tried tasted lemony. ... but the jelly my grandmother made did have a hint of lemon, because she put lemon in it. She said it needed the acid to set up and to preserve it.
Somehow buying prickly pear soda from a New York manufacturer, seems very akin to buying salsa from New York. Might be good, but probably not the best (as defined by my Texas born & raised taste buds).
I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing. The tasters were just so lame and dull. However, I shall watch for it in my grocery store, and if I see it, I will try it.

My cactus must be gods. They demand blood sacrifice.

They sell this stuff in little novelty Cracker-Barrel-esque gift shops. It tastes pleasant enough, but not at all like an Opuntia tuna to me. I'll admit though that I've never had a tuna from anywhere but an Indiana market, so I imagine I've probably only tasted those fruits with the most limited flavor-profile a distributor could find.
Also I watched 5 seconds of the video and had to stop... just awful lol
