Dear all,

Just been wondering, what if your favorite fruit and vegetable. I like passion fruits. But generally in Cyprus which are the big fruits and veggies?

...or 'ladies fingers'. More like MUMMY's (Egyptian) fingers. Lovely as per O's recipe with a nice rice pilav.

I've always known it as prickly pear.

On my way to work this morning I noticed a bloody great cactus covered in them.

Some of the members on here should stop and pick them (I will give the location if I am asked), it will stop them producing so much shit!
