Passing through the center arch of Palazzo dei Banchi at Piazza Maggiore, one enters Via Clavature and its neighbouring streets and immediately realizes why Bologna is nicknamed „la grassa“ (the fat one). This area with its medieval architecture is the food center of the city with the Mercato di Mezzo and numerous shops and restaurants.

Kakteen mit den essbaren Früchten

Kaktusfeigen ..... ein Genuss .... :-) ----------------------------------------
Opuntia ficus-indica ist eine Pflanzenart in der Gattung der Opuntien (Opuntia) aus der Familie der Kakteengewächse (Cactaceae). Das Artepitheton ficus-indica bedeutet indische Feige. Die oft als Kaktusfeigen bezeichneten Früchte und die jungen Triebe sind essbar und gehören zur mexikanischen Standardküche. Opuntia ficus-indica stammt vermutlich aus Mexiko. Durch die lange Kultivierung der Art ist das ursprüngliche Verbreitungsgebiet nicht bekannt. Die Art ist in Südamerika, Australien und im Mittelmeergebiet verwildert. Molekulargenetische Untersuchungen deuten darauf hin, dass Opuntia ficus-indica eine domestizierte Form von Opuntia megacantha ist. Verzehrt wird das Innere der Frucht mit den ebenfalls essbaren Kernen. Das, je nach Sorte, gelborange bis rote Fruchtfleisch hat einen süß-säuerlichen Geschmack. Die Frucht kann man wahlweise roh, als Marmelade oder als Likör genießen. -------------------------------------
Opuntia ficus-indica is a species of cactus that has long been a domesticated crop plant important in agricultural economies throughout arid and semiarid parts of the world. It is thought to possibly be native to Mexico.[1] Some of the common English names for the plant and its fruit are Indian fig opuntia, barbary fig, cactus pear, spineless cactus, and prickly pear, although this last name has also been applied to other less common Opuntia species. In Mexican Spanish, the plant is called nopal, while the fruit is called tuna, which are names also used in American English, especially as culinary terms. The most commercially valuable use for Opuntia ficus-indica today is for the large, sweet fruits, called tunas. Areas with significant tuna-growing cultivation include Mexico, Malta, Spain, Sicily and the coasts of Southern Italy, Albania, Greece, Libya, Tunisia (where the fruit is called El Hindi), Morocco, Algeria, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel (where the fruit is called sabra), Chile, Brazil, Turkey, as well as in Eritrea and Ethiopia, where the fruit is called beles (Tigrinya: በለስ?).[4] In Sicily, the prickly pear fruit is known as ficudinnia (the Italian name being fico d'India, meaning "Indian fig"); in Albania, it is known as "fik deti" (meaning sea fig). The cactus grows wild and cultivated to heights of 12–16 ft (4–5 m). In Namibia, O. ficus-indica is a common drought-resistant fodder plant.[5]

The plants flower in three distinct colors: white, yellow, and red. The flowers first appear in early May through the early summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the fruit ripen from August through October. The fruits are typically eaten, minus the thick outer skin, after chilling in a refrigerator for a few hours. They have a taste similar to a juicy, extra sweet watermelon. The bright red/purple or white/yellowish flesh contains many tiny hard seeds that are usually swallowed, but should be avoided by those who have problems digesting seeds. Tuna Jams and jellies are produced from the fruit, which resemble strawberries and figs in color and flavor.Mexicans have used Opuntia for thousands of years to make an alcoholic drink called colonche.
In the center of Sicily, in the Province of Enna, in a small village named Gagliano Castelferrato, a prickly pear-flavored liqueur is produced called "Ficodi", flavored somewhat like a medicinal/aperitif. In Malta, a liqueur called bajtra (the Maltese name for prickly pear) is made from this fruit, which can be found growing wild in most every field. On the island of Saint Helena, the prickly pear also gives its name to locally distilled liqueur, Tungi Spirit -----------------------------------------
