Day 19: Nopal

I had a cactus fr lunch. It's very much liked by (half of) Mexicans. You either love it or you hate it. Nopal (cooked paddle cactus) is quite slimy so not everyone likes it.

I really liked the first few bites. But not so much the rest of a stake-sized-catus-thing. And other foreigners told me their experience was the same.

I think Nopal would be great as a one-bite-sandwitch, but as a steak it was just too much.

But it is worth a try, because it definitely doesn't "taste like chicken". Nopal's taste is incomparable, so if you happen to have an opportunity to try it, you definitely should.
