The market I went to was Coppa's at Dufferin and Finch. I decided to go to this market because it has the most local and fresh selection of produce out of any supermarket around my area. I wanted to select something new so I walked around the fruit section until i found a cactus pear. It comes from the cactus family and obviously grows in dessert climates, it's peak season is summer, but it is relatively inexpensive. It tasted like a very earthy fruit. Almost like a complete dish in one fruit, with a very sweet flavour to begin with then it mellows out and becomes almost earthy and herby in taste. It leaves an earthy after taste in your mouth, it is really a very interesting fruit. I don't believe I would cook with this fruit until I have a much greater understating of it. This was an awesome experience making me try new things and making me push my boundaries as well.
