Reader Kristin was confounded: “I’ve had all kinds of fun with Google Translate and tuna doesn’t appear to mean anything in Spanish– certainly not prickly pear.”
Well, Kristin, Wikipedia explains:
Most culinary uses of the term “prickly pear” refer to this species. Prickly pears are also known as “tuna”, “nopal” or nopales, from the Nahuatl word nōpalli for the pads, or nostle, from the Nahuatl word nōchtli for the fruit; or paddle cactus. This and similar species are native to Mexico. [link.]
