agree John Speese : I agree too, the fruit of a prickly pear is called a tuna and they are very good, just be sure to skin them to remove the tiny little stickers...that's why they're called prickly pears. The pads are called nopales and are also edible, when skinned!

tunera + prickly pear plant (see explanation)

Tunera es una planta que se da en las Islas Canarias. Al igual que el Mojo picón o las papas arrugadas, que son comidas típicas, yo creo que en principio deberíamos citar la palabra en español y, aparte, si se quiere traducir, poner entre paréntesis o de cualquier otra forna la palabra en inglés.
Es mi opinión; la de un canario :-P
Saludos

neutral ------ (X) : En todo caso "prickly pear cactus". Las plantas por su puesto se traducen y de poner algo entre paréntesis sería "opuntia ficus indica", pero no viene a cuento. Tuneras, chumberas o nopales se dan en muchas partes. Saludos desde Las Palmas, vecino.:)
