Thanks Allen.
I really don't know if the cactus here grow wild or only by planting them.
These I found on the road side, but they could have been planted. I'm not
sure if these can be eaten. I'll have to ask my wife, she's quite a cook
and
knows a lot about food stuff.
I didn't find it in ingredients of restaurants, but who knows?
In general there are just a few ****tuguese dishes I really like: bacalhau
com nates (cod with cream sauce, made in the oven), feijoada (little like
chili) and my favorite: frango churrasqueiro (chicken from a special
rotating ****tuguese BBQ) with piri piri sauce, which is any kind of red
pepper. Dried, sauce or other liquid.
I loved visiting Mexico in the past. Food was great!
