tipz Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Had the day off work, so packed and posted everything today.Just a word of warning on the odd chance anyone I am sending them too, is unfamiliar with pereskiopsis or glochids in general.Handle with care, use garden gloves or a sponge or thick towel.I was warned also before my first batch of peres arrived, but learnt the hard way still. There are some big nasty spines on them and some microscopically thin fuckers too.( on a side note - the leaves are quite tasty - chuck em in your salads, nom nom nom ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep2Handle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 lol someone sent me my peres, and forgot to warn me....i was so exited to see my posted tube arrive i popped the lid off....thrust my hand in......clamped tightly....and learnt the hard way, that they are not unsimilar to opuntia...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applesnail Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 your opening of package 2deep sounds like my recent experience eating opuntia fruit, i ripped it off the plant tore it open to get a finger full of thistles, tore flesh open to plump glowing innards of vibrant purple red delight to take a bite, to get a tongue full of thistles, and they are not pleasant to remove from yr tongue with tweezers...lesson learnt do not eat prickly pears in haste!

tipz Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I have seen a clip on youtube of preparing prickly pears, they burn all the fine barbed spines off with a butane torch... then your good to go.(edit) i would have loved to have seen that applesnail, maybe I am sadistic but i find great humour in seeing things like that happen to people ) Edited February 28, 2012 by tipz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up tipz. I was informed only last night that the peres were one to be careful with <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_unsure.png .I have heaps of 'CHUX' cloth i can use to handle them <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif .

2Deep2Handle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 yeah amazoninan..the cloth will stop the glochids.....but if it aint thick stuff, you may still discover its actual 'spines' , which are more like a cacti......thats for the heads up with the fruit....
