The Ithaca Journal recommends eating cactus.
Improve the variety of your diet — try some exotic produce.
Nopales or cactus pads are often used in Mexican or Southwest dishes.
But they don’t tell us where you can find it in Ithaca. Maybe you have to go all the way to Tampa, because I don’t think your regular safeway in Ithaca is going to stock nopales.

Ugh, appalled again at my local paper. Clearly they picked this up off the wire (is there still a wire?), and someone doesn’t know that chayote is squash, but Ithacans all know there’s only 1 store with anything sort of exotic, and it’s Wegman’s. Go there at your peril for you will be sucked in and spat out barely breathing. Someone needs to go in there with a sense of organization.

Wegman’s it is!
