Truffle. If they are not described as the more precious white truffle, these will almost invariably be the dark, gnarled black truffle. As in other languages, these are also chocolated truffles.
"Truffle of the poor." Black chanterelle or horn of plenty. A wild mushroom which should be cooked.
Prickly pear. The delicious but risky fruit of a cactus. The sweet, juicy flesh ripens from green to a deep apricot-pink colour. It is sensible to use leather gloves when dealing with these fruit as they are covered in fine, penetrating prickles. They are normally eaten raw but can be cooked, with the edible seeds becoming hard with cooking. The leaves are cooked as nopales or nopalitos and may be eaten in salads. Fruits can be red or greenish yellow when ripe.
Nougat made with almond and honey, made with the natural ingredients grown in Murcia. A soft version contains eggs.
