I think you're right. I didn't know you could eat them. So far I've not let any get ripe. I may try one and see what it tastes like. I'll try to get a positive ID since some may be toxic. Thanks Jeff.

If they have thorns they taste like CACA.

PLEASE don't eat them until you check with your extension service and make sure it's not one of the poisonous varieties!

Thanks for the concern bruggirl100, Don't worry I won't eat 'em. I think if at least SOME are poison, that's says to me...leave 'em alone. Hey Vroomp, These don't have thorns, but what is CACA?
