Stumped me with that one. :( ;)

A pitahaya is the fruit of a cactus which has the same general shape as the
common "cactus fruit" (or "prickly pear" or "tuna") but is not covered with
needles but instead covered with large overlapping scales, kind of. Inside
is melting white pulp with hundreds of small black edible seeds. Very
sucrosey flavor. And I was on the toilet an hour later--whoosh ;)

>Great list!

It has its moments.
