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
Is that “pear pressure” my teachers warned me about?
Nah, they are talking about this thing:
Real pear pressure right there
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.
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.
Harvest season for pears is like september october. Remember they’re high in aspirin-like compounds!
What does one do on a daily basis when working at the national pear council?
DON’T LET ME EAT PEARS.
Maybe because pears I never know what I’m going to get, it’s usually a grainy piece of shit
Yup it’s like a gamble and 80% of the time you lose.
Fruit is a gamblers food
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.
Because they’re jisr “OK”, and they give me gritty sand papery poop.
I remember reading like a Williams-Sonoma catalog that had several “pear of the month” clubs, and wondered how so many people were so into luxury pears.
Since iCarly raped my childhood
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.
Highly recommend pear dessert recipe my family makes on some holidays and birthdays:
Tosca butterscotch pears:
1 can (850g) preserved pears halves
100g almond shavings
50g butter
1/2 dl sugar
1/2 dl golden syrup
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp milk
Good quality vanilla ice creamSet 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 the oven dish in the oven until the mixture is golden brown on top
Serve with the vanilla ice cream
(Tosca is a Swedish word used for deserts with nuts, mostly almonds, and caramel/butterscotch)
Pears internal textures feel like fuzzy apples. And not as good.
The Onion Newspaper fucking slaps. Everyone should get a subscription, well worth it.
