Just got into pears. The bartlett was pretty good though a bit more mild than an apple. Where should I go from here? I've heard good things about korean pears. Also, any good pairings (pearings) I should know about?
>>21849648Look into the Rick Ross diet
>>21849648I had something called an Asian pear the other day. It sucked
>>21849648Try some Asian Pears if you can find them. They're juicy and tasty as hell. And big.
BOSC is my favorite
Novembra / Xenia is kino. Red Modoc is good too. There isn't really a bad pear variant DESU>>21849658Nashi.
I like pear flamkuchen. Creme fraiche, sliced pear, some gooey cheese, red onions, parma ham, drizzle with honey. Sub-humans do it with blue cheese.
>Where should I go from here?Wait for them to TRULY ripen: when they soften, but haven't gone bad. That's when they're peak. It just takes a couple days or so.Red anjou are pretty damn good too. Comice are okay too, but not as sweet.Bosc pears don't need to soften, but they might be more expensive depending on the store.Prickly pears (tuna fruit) are damn good too, but the seeds inside of them are big and annoying.
Bosc are great.i like ham & pear sandiwches.or for dessert, pear crumble
>>21849648Peel a pear and halve it, and put the halves in a saucepan full of port along with a tablespoon of sugar, and poach the pear halves until the port has reduced to a syrup. Let cool a bit and serve with vanilla ice cream.
You should graduate from pears into peaches
Big anjou pears are the GOAT
Pears, pears, pears... is that even a real word?
>>21849658>>21849660We had an asian pear tree in my grandpa's house, every other year they'd sprout fruit.
>>21849648Find some Comice pears. They're the be all and end all of pears.
>>21854021this is ridiculous
OP here, just bought some apple pears from my local supermarket. They taste almost indistinguishable from apples apart from a very subtle difference of the juice in the aftertaste. I don't know what I expected.

>>21849648>Just got into pears.did you seriously go through life until now without ever trying a pear
>>21854412>>21854219>>21854021
>>21854424that is correct, however right this moment I'm course correcting, bought a red pear literally minutes ago
>>21849706I've noticed that ethnic people love to ruin fruit by eating it when it's bitter and hard and unripe, often covering it with salt and chili and similar horrible additions.
>>21849648>just got into pears This made me hard chuckle
>>21849706>(tuna fruit)Today I learned that opuntia fruit are called tuna in Spanish. These are not even slightly a pear, for whatever that's worth. OP will need to get into prickly pears separately.
>>21855183>OP will need to get into prickly pears separately.laughing so bad at the notion that eating a pear and eating a prickly pear are two different complex endeavors that should not be conflated
>>21849648>Just got into pears.Then you're not ready for Korean pears. Those are advanced pears for experienced pear eaters.
>>21849648Caramelized pear chunks with gorgonzola in risotto. Topped with candied pecans. Goes nicely with honey and lemon glazed garlic baked chicken with rosemary. Sorry, I don't have any specific recipes, I kind of just make it up as I go, knowing what I plan on using in advance.
>>21855186Not all of us have the time to get into a bunch of different fruits. I just OUT of grapes. I'm not in a hurry to replace that free time
