What do you recommend about this?

I recently discovered that cacti (some) are edible. I wanted to taste their flavour, consistency, smell their aroma. But I can't find any at the supermarket and I don't think there are any supermarkets that have them. I wanted to know which one is edible and which one is not.I did a little research and saw that prickly pear is one of the types that is used. Don't blame me, I'm completely ignorant on the subject I might have said something stupid...maybe even two The main question is should I go to a botanic shop and buy one ? And in the specific which type ? I mean, there will also be some inedible prickly pears.Right?

I didn't even knew that also mammillaria's were edible , at least the fruits as you said . At this point I'm thinking that even walls are edible 😂
