It's not Thursday but I couldn't resist running this one early in the week. I include my friend Gino's vibrant painting of the same object to help you.
I'd love to know what it tastes like too. Have you heard about the wine which came out of the water tap in Rome: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4899830.ece
Well done, everyone! It was the container I was thinking of, rather than the prickly pear inside. The container is, of course, a prickly oear leaf and when they are found in this shape, they are quite often used as food containers. Now, that's a thought, Mutley!
I'm a sort-of retired language teacher from Cardiff, Wales, UK, now trying to make a new life in Sicily. I'm not growing vines, making olive oil or restoring a palace stone by stone!

Looks like a prickly pear. Love the painting :)
It's a bud... or a fruit... or a seed-head... and it's lying in a weird green peanut shell.
There, how did I do?
Fichi d'India, yummy, yummy - and love the painting too.
Looks like a pawpaw

Prickly pear and a half a pod!!!
Or is it Prickly pear and one of the sort of leaves, that has dried up. Sort of cacti. :-)
fichi d'India, prickly pears for the Brits. They are delicious, excellent for breakfast.
