Wife found some good looking cacti and brought it home for me. I picked it. It was a bit too slimy for my preference. But then it occurred to me that that slim would hold cornmeal for deep frying.

OMG is this tasty. The cost is basically cider vinegar, onions, corn meal and frying oil. We need to go back and get more to plant here.

I haven't tried it, although I just made a gumbo yesterday, should have saved some. Is it good? It seems like it would be. Does it still have that slimyness when it's fried?

    I love it, ate it like popcorn when I was a kid! Weirdly in my experience the frozen, pre-breaded kind can retain some internal sliminess, especially when baked, but I’ve never encountered that with made from scratch (I imagine they’d do the same if you froze them first).
