mjmooney Posted August 7, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2013 I dont fancy eating cactus. Edible cactus is also known as nopales (no-PAHles), nopalitos or cactus pads. This vegetable is popular in Mexico and other Central American countries, parts of Europe, the Middle East, India, North Africa and Australia. Its popularity is increasing in the United States where it can be found at Mexican grocery stores, specialty produce markets and farmer's markets. Edible cactus is characterized by its fleshy oval leaves (typically called pads or paddles) of the nopal (prickly pear) cactus. With a soft but crunchy texture that also becomes a bit sticky (not unlike okra) when cooked, edible cactus tastes similar to a slightly tart green bean, asparagus, or green pepper. Cactus pads contain beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins, and are good sources of both vitamin C and calcium. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted August 7, 2013 Administrator Share Posted August 7, 2013 That's the thing about the Bible, there's never a clear message. Not because of allegory or other literary devices, but because it contradicts itself so, so many times. You can support just about any ethical viewpoint with the Bible, so self-contradictory it is. Except for slavery. The Bible makes it quite clear that slavery is fine. It even details how much you can beat your slaves (they mustn't die within two days) and how good slaves must behave, even if their master is cruel.

I think you miss the point of a forum. Every thread is an argument between villa fans. This is probably one of the least argumentative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biblically marriage is whatever the ruler at the time thought was okay and now it's whatever some celibate men wearing dresses says is okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
