Is it normal i only eat soft pears?

Ok I really like pears. I will only eat them if they are soft. I had figured out if you leave them a few weeks they will become soft but they are like a apple when you first get them. I always imagined from looking at a pear that they are suppose to be soft. I like them because they are not very acidic so not as bad for your teeth.

    • I did too. I found some at the store hard like a apple and they hurt because you can not chew them with this consistency because the skin is like leather. So I left them in the fridge a few days and now they are soft. The skin did not break they popped.

  • Mac: [Handing Charlie a pear] Chomp into it.

    Charlie Kelly: Just bite it?

    Mac: Yeah.

    Charlie Kelly: Okay.

    Mac: Like a piece of fruit, you would bite into it...

    Charlie Kelly: Agh! Tastes like sand.

    Mac: Like sand? Oh, that-that pear's not ripe, dude.

    Charlie Kelly: Ah.

    Mac: He burned us. Gypsy son of a bitch burned us! Excuse me, sir? What are you doing to my friend, Bozo? You burned us. It's dry.

    Fruit Vendor: You picked it out.

    Mac: Well, let's not get into a whole who picked out what. It's... I want my 35 cents back. Charlie, give
    him the pear.

    Charlie Kelly: I can't, I just ate it.

    Mac: The whole thing?

    Charlie Kelly: Yeah. It was pretty gross and I...

    Mac: The stem and-and the core?

    Charlie Kelly: You didn't tell me not to eat the stem, dude!

    Mac: Did you eat the stickers that are all over it?

    Charlie Kelly: Yeah, it was gross!

    Mac: Of course it's gross... it's a sticker, bro!

    Charlie Kelly: I eat stickers all the time, dude!

    Mac: Oh my god! This whole thing is a disaster. I'm going back to the car.

    They don't taste very yummy to me when they are hard. When they get soft they are sweet and juicy. The hard ones are still good for making a pear pie. It would be really nice to have a pear tree and let them ripen on the tree so they are nice and soft when you pick them but still fresh. Unfortunately unless you have a pear tree in your backyard then they were picked early and shipped to the grocery store where they will ripen on the shelf. I hope I have a pear tree some day.

    Pears are the best when they are soft. I also love that they are so juicy and not too acidic.

    My dad only eats bananas after they start to brown, so I guess it's no different than that.

    And pears are in season, which means apples are too. This makes me very happy because some hot apple pie sounds absolutely delightful right now.

    • I have to go with cantheist on this one. I hate rotten bananas. If my banana is even a little bruised I generally can not eat it.

        I agree, brown bananas are gross. My dad's a little weird. But they are good for baking.
