Pears are one of those fruits which are exquisite at just the right moment of ripeness, and terrible at all other times.

Peaches are like that, too.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

I find peaches get mealy too easy, pears seem to have a better window of opportunity.

All uncooked pears are disgusting and taste like they are filled with sand.

Poached pears on the other hand, are absolutely delicious.

TBH,  Also find kpop pears soso..  Just pears in general.. they all have an unpleasant grittiness when one gets near the center.

Never heard of these pears, thought this was a thread about a metal(?) band(?) that I now realise is called Bosk.

Anyway I have vague memories of disliking pears due to them being very sweet but it's probably been 15 years since I ate pear, raw or cooked.  You're not doing a great job of selling them :))

I guess I've not tried a bosc pear. I typical eat bartlett pears. Basically it is more difficult to tell when a bosc is ripe and so is usually reserved for baking.
