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.

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
