This summer I was wondering around the streets and markets of Paris (like rue Mouffetard, in the 5ème, for instance), with Carla, an Italian friend of mine, someone who has traveled the world, always thirsty for knowledge and eager for knowledge. In almost equatorial heat, we pass a fruit and vegetable stall where Carla, discovers something that seems to interest her very much. It is colorful figues de Barbarie, as we call in France your prickly pears.
