WHAT IN SICILY? - 5



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.

Answer tomorrow.

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?

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:

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.

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!

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Anne, sorry. Clever girl! I will indeed, James.
