  Maybe because pears I never know what I’m going to get, it’s usually a grainy piece of shit

    I think I’ve had one actually good pear in my life. I might be being generous.

      I remember the time I had a good pear. I actually thought it was a different fruit.

    I’ve always hated pears, then I had a good one. No graininess, just incredibly juicy and flavorful. Haven’t found one like it since.

  Ummm…deliver better pears to the grocery store and I’ll buy some every week.

  I’ve had delicious, refreshing pears. So I know they can be good.

  Most of the pears in US grocery stores are dry grainy garbage. Like 80-90% of the time.

  The apple people figured it out. No one wants dry-ass mushy Red Delicious garbage apples. Now I can buy Cosmic Crisp or Envy apples and they are always consistently sweet, tart, juicy, and crisp. And guess what? I buy dem shits every week.

  Figure it out pear people. Get on it.

  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

  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.

  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.

  source
• hperrin@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  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.

  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.

  I stopped eating apples and bananas and pears for some reason, until I had a kid and cut them up for him all the time. I’ve now rediscovered how great pears are.

    Because pears are similar to avocados in some way.

  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.
