 M60gunner, I'm interested more in your comment 'off the tree', sound intriguing. I have eaten off my grandfathers apple and crab apple trees, and my grandmother's on the other side's pear and fig trees, and my best friend live on a peach orchard.  So, I've eaten off the tree for my entire life basically.

""monkey and Boa meat with a side of roots ""

I want to hear about that!

"monkey and Boa meat" sounds like an expedite meal in the jungle.

Terry…I’ve eaten them all my life. I remember as a little kid watching my grandmother cut them off the plant and then cut all the thorns off. The key to eating cactus is you only eat the new growth paddles. As the cactus ages the skin gets too tough and no matter how long you cook them they stay very tough. We have always eaten “Nopales” sliced up and sautéed with scrambled eggs definitely my favorite way to eat them. We also eat them sautéed with onion, tomatoes, bacon, and jalapeños. We love them!
