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.

As a lifelong pear enjoyer, this is making me uncomfortable.
Slight more elegant way to say got apples?
Like 2 days ago i think
I eat them frequently they're decent
I always have a pair...
Because they're jisr "OK", and they give me gritty sand papery poop.
If you find your favourite cultivar and check for ripeness regularly before deciding to eat them, they're very nice sweet treats :>. Not as easy to get into as apples, but personally I really dislike apple texture.
yeah you better run pear
Appearently
Pears make my fillings hurt, for some reason, so I avoid them.
Because I don't wanna break my teeth. These days, they're hard as rock.

In my case, literally yesterday.
How come it's that long ago? Because I don't eat fruit in my sleep 🤷
Yesterday
That long?
It's been tough battling the cravings...
How come?
I can't stand the graininess just under the skin. And the rest of the flesh is too bland. Unripe, they're woody and sometimes stringy. Maybe if you took a perfectly ripe one, peeled and cored and cut it up, and then squeezed half a lemon over it, I would try it. Otherwise, miss me with those nasty things.
Everyday
When I was a child, my elderly neighbor grew pears, and they were the best pears. My parents live in the same house, and the pear trees my elderly neighbor grew are still in the same spot, still alive.
The pears on those trees aren't the same anymore. They turn meally before they get soft, and they never get sweet enough. They don't have the same strong flavor, and they don't bake up well in desserts.
She taught me many things about growing plants, but never anything about what she did for the pear trees. So now pears aren't what they're supposed to be, and the reason is lost to me.
I think its mainly strategic and regular pruning, but I'm no expert either.
Well they would make my throat close up, but I'll keep it in mind for when the world gets inevitably worse.
