Please, bro! Pears are so good! Don’t you remember how it tasted? No? Maybe if you try harder? Still no? Ok, well trust us, it’s definitely memorable.

I hear pears are healthier than apples! But apparently they have a shorter ripening window and logistically are way harder than apples. Basically, an apple is more profitable.

I know this is a shitpost, but to answer honestly… the last pear I had was when I was a child, and I’m in my 40s now.

I still remember their wonderful taste and I haven’t been intentionally avoiding them. I just never came across an opportunity to eat one since my childhood. I’ve primarily consumed apples and oranges over the years and I can’t even remember seeing pears at the store.

Maybe I should go check out my local grocery store and buy a few.

Show threadbstixFeb 21

Try it, but don’t get disappointed if it doesn’t match your childhood memories at first try.

The ones my parents had in the garden wouldn’t be found in a store. They’re honestly just plain bad, but they’re the ones I remember most fondly.

Highly recommend pear dessert recipe my family makes on some holidays and birthdays:

Tosca butterscotch pears:

1 can (850g) pears halves (the kind that’s canned in sugar syrup, 100g almond shavings 50g butter 1/2 dl sugar 1/2 dl golden syrup 2 tbsp flour 2 tbsp milk Good quality vanilla ice cream

Set your oven to 200°C

Drain the pears and put them with the flatter/inner side up on an oven safe dish (DON’T get rid of the liquid from the can, it’s delicious and worth saving for whatever)

Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan and bring it to a boil

Stir in the almond flakes, flour and milk

Let it simmer until it thickens

Spoon the mixture over the pears

Put in the oven until golden brown on top

Serve with the vanilla ice cream

I got an Asian pear tree, a Nijisseiki specifically, a few years ago. Asian pears are usually really good, particularly the expensive ones that come in little pear bear bras. When you have your own tree though, you can harvest at absolute peak ripeness without having to worry about them going bad. Absolutely amazing fruit. Chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or two before eating so it’s cool but not cold. Perfect dessert.

    Neither is anything like a green apple. Have you ever actually eaten either?
    Show threadMouselemmingFeb 21
    I can’t stand the graininess just under the skin. And the rest of the flesh is too bland. Unripe, they’re woody and sometimes stringy. Maybe if you took a perfectly ripe one, peeled and cored and cut it up, and then squeezed half a lemon over it, I would try it. Otherwise, miss me with those nasty things.

    The only reason I haven’t had a pear in a while is because the only kind I can find after moving are the brown ones that have the taste and texture of a sandy beach. Those pears suck ass. I want the kind pictured here.

    Who the hell even wants those brown ones enough that it’s the only kind in this city? 🤔 Do they even sell or are the people in charge of determining what they put on shelves just bad at their job?

    If you find your favourite cultivar and check for ripeness regularly before deciding to eat them, they’re very nice sweet treats :>. Not as easy to get into as apples, but personally I really dislike apple texture.
    Show threadFishFaceFeb 21

    Yesterday?

    Pears are delicious. Conference pears are my favourite… Actually all other pears I’ve tried have been less good so maybe only conference pears are good. They don’t last as long as apples, but they’re amazing for about three days and decent for a few days either side. Also in my experience they don’t all ripen as uniformly as bananas, so you’re more likely to have the whole punnet edible over a week.

    You can judge the ripeness of a pear by trying to wiggle the tip - the easier it is, the riper the pear, so you can eat the ripest first.

    When I was a child, my elderly neighbor grew pears, and they were the best pears. My parents live in the same house, and the pear trees my elderly neighbor grew are still in the same spot, still alive.

    The pears on those trees aren’t the same anymore. They turn meally before they get soft, and they never get sweet enough. They don’t have the same strong flavor, and they don’t bake up well in desserts.

    She taught me many things about growing plants, but never anything about what she did for the pear trees. So now pears aren’t what they’re supposed to be, and the reason is lost to me.

    I think its mainly strategic and regular pruning, but I’m no expert either.

    I eat as many pears as possible, but they are one of the most frustrating fruits to ripen. Out of season sometimes they refuse to ripen at all.
