You can find prickly pear fruit in the US in the store from time to time. You can also grow them with the right climate - in Arizona for instance they go crazy.
Definitely not a "fig" but a cactus fruit. Kinda sweet, kinda like a kiwi inside maybe, very purple red and the juice stains really bad. Have to peel them as the outside skin is tough and can have spines.

I guess it's a "fig" as much as it's a "pear."

Some people call the fruits tuna. No idea where all these names come from, but it definitely has a whole lot of them
