The way we have found best is to slice the fruit I don't think he was referring to the fruit babe. ;-) The pads are also edible when young before they get all fibery. -- Peace!

I know and I have eaten them for years. They are good. Just slice them into strips and cook them like string beans or put them in salads or whatever. semi-peel them first to at least get all the prickly "eyes". -- Peace!
