Default Re: Is this cactus fruit edible?

I grow prickly pear here inground (believe it or not they are taking my winters!) but never got a flower. I see them in Mexican food marts but only the green prickly leaves. They rub the thorns off & cut them up like french fries & fry them - so I was told by a cashier there.
What a cool looking plant!
