    Now I have to try them:)

    Thanks- I think that may be what they were- the sign actually said cactus leaves- but they could have been nopolitas- have to say they were totally new to me here in the "frozen north"
    Guess if I were serious about a "hundred mile" diet they'd be out for sure- maybe a thousand mile diet- I did notice the garlic they had in the store was from China- seems crazy since I know for sure they grow amazing garlic around here- have always been meaning to go to the "garlic festival"-.... oops seems I hijacked my own thread!
    thanks again sw

    Pika - they use cactus leaves in mexican cooking a lot, they're in the stores down here all the time. My receptionista (mexican gal) peels them as outlined above and sautees them then sprinkles them with chili powder and lime juice. Mind you Mexicans put chili pepper and lime on everything, even watermelon!!

    Oh, that sounds good! I saw some at our co-op, might have to go buy 'em and give 'em a try.
