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

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.

The Onion Newspaper fucking slaps. Everyone should get a subscription, well worth it.

Fuck the pair, I want to hear about the Druid!

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.

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.

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.

Man up and grow a pear

Is that "pear pressure" my teachers warned me about?

TIL that pears aren't common in grocery stores? And people may not like these delicious fruits

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.

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?

Are you watching me?

I just ate a pear as 1st dessert with chamomile tea and opened Lemmy. Now onto my beloved popcorn.

Pears internal textures feel like fuzzy apples. And not as good.

My wife and I bought a dehydrator and tried all kinds of different fruits. Pears are our favorite.

i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades... just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.

a pear of wut?

All 100% juice base is pear juice with natural coloring and natural flavors. I love pears cold out of the fridge! Had some last week!

Am I the only one who thinks they're too expensive? Even my favorite pear juice went up 105% in price in a short time

Because its like an apple but usually worse?

[Sephiroth voice] “Shall I give you dis pear?”

I'm eating a 380g big ass motherfucker of a pear right now

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.

A friend of mine once said that pears are wannabe apples and this sticked with me

Team D'anjou represent!

Last fall, so many right from the tree. Love 'em

What does one do on a daily basis when working at the national pear council?

Harvest season for pears is like september october. Remember they're high in aspirin-like compounds!
