Wow Liz, that was educational .. but I do have a question.  This was posted on
one of the sites;


[edit]WarningsNot all yuccas are necessarily edible. It is wise with any unknown
plant to use the Universal Edibility Testbefore consuming even moderate
quantities.
The "Universal Edibility Test", does this mean feed it to your spouse 1st?  Just
wondering!

And oh, the wonderful Prickly Pear! It can make a super, super

Margarita when paired with the juice of the Agave. Some of the very

best Margaritas that I've ever experienced were Prickly Pear

Margaritas in Arizona made with Prickly Pear syrup for that special flavor.
