About this deal

This second harvest takes advantage of the first rains and always produces larger fruit than the first. This is P’s job, and although some people soak them in water beforehand is advisable, I’ve never seen him do it.

Therefore I do not bother with preserving the fruit, even though a neighbour has demonstrated how it is done, by hanging leaves of fichi d’India out to dry in my trulli. Should you be around in March/April and happen to be walking along a well-known foot/bike path in Melbourne’s west, you may perchance notice a seemingly pleasant older couple strolling along, wearing gloves and hovering around a specific area, heads darting from left to right occasionally to check for passers by, also holding a strange elongated object in one hand, plastic bags in the other. We adore fichi d’india and even though they cost an arm and a leg here, we always look forward to them. They grown with passion in the south of Italy and are loved by most if not all of my family in Puglia. Your natural instinct will be to chomp down on the seeds and chew them, but you have to resist this.

Both are delicious and both are full of seeds, but the flavor, texture and look are completely different.

And, worse than that, they also have a whole mess of secondary spines that are almost like tiny, quasi-invisible hairs that get stuck in your hands with their little hooked ends and you can’t get them out without tweezers. Undeterred, I grabbed two from the box as he lunged to take them off me and delicately put them in a bag with the handful of apples I’d bought. The sky is nearly always blue, which is both a blessing and a curse, and the aforementioned flat country side gives way to farms nesteled on mountain sides (worked in the step farming tradition).

Growing under some of the old olive trees on the property were these crocus-like bulbs, Sternbergia lutea. Sternbergia lutea are found all the way from the western Mediterranean and North Africa to Takijistan and are one of the world’s oldest of cultivated flowers.Yeah I’d say the sweetness is the only thing that remotely links them, but it’s such a different sweet anyway…and I like my figs *and* fichi d’India chilled. You can drink juice from the fichi d'India, but it really needs some lemon added for additional acid. The most common use of this fruit, other than eating it fresh, is making preserves with it, and there are many recipes for marmelata di fichi d’india (prickly pear jelly) online. They may be getting on in their age (no offence, guys), but present them with an opportunity to obtain free red fichi d’India from an otherwise untouched source and they are more than willing to clamber over the walking trail’s railings, cross over the channel and jostle their way through other vegetation to reach this prickly bush. To cut and extract the fruit from the skin, cut off both ends and slice once through the fruit lengthwise.

The Prickly Pears of Sicily, typical especially of the Etna area, are a very welcome product at local, national and even international level. He wants none of it because he knows that unity runs out the front door as bitterness sneaks in the back. First, I have been told explicitly that, even in the polite, fancy company of a dinner party, you don’t eat this fruit with a fork.

The word lagane , like lasagna , comes from ancient Greece where it was used to describe a pasta made of flour and water, cooked on a stone, and then cut into strips. afraid to spend the money on them and then let them sit while I figure out how to eat the darned things ! I wear rubber gloves when doing this because sometimes there are hair-like almost invisible thorns left on the surface of the pear that can get into the skin on your fingers and drive you crazy with itching.

Still, many people take advantage of this no doubt painfully acquired discovery, to enjoy the treat. The fruits were named fichio d’India (Indian fig) because when Christopher Columbus arrived in the new continent and saw prickly pears he thought he was in India . Peel back the thick fleshy skin with the use of the fork and knife that’s wrapped around the prickly pear.Some like to feel the crunch of the seeds between their teeth, while others eat them as they do pomegranates, swallowing seeds along with the gelatinous flesh (think, "fiber"). Once the fruit is peeled it’s red, fleshy, skin (there are also white and orange colored fruit) is slightly sweet and very refreshing (including tiny digestible seeds).
