Prickly pear fruit. Looks like an exotic dangerous adventure but after you avoid the spikes and get inside it's actually pretty bad. Recommend eating only if choices are eat this or die of thirst/hunger (eg. if you are lost in the Namib desert.)

I had some at my house and they tasted fine as a kid. Lots of effort though, lots and lots of effort.

It's like the fruit version of preparing a pufferfish!
