Hello Christiane I ID'd my own spotting using this photo of Emma. I also saw this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opuntia that has a section on food. I hope it helps in checking if the fruit of your weed is edible.

This cactus which I uploaded did not have any flowers or fruits.
I personally have not eaten cactii..
Let me do some research on edible cacti and also let me talk to some people who know about it and I will write back.
