Historically, I've never liked pears. Until recently, I've found pears to have a mealy texture with a unpleasant too-thick skin. This was how I felt until...I tried an Asian Pear. I admit I was biased thinking all pears must taste the same, Asian pears are delightful! They are much sweeter, and more apple-like in texture. Several arrived in my CSA box this week and they've already been devoured by my bf and I. If you've never been a pear person like I was...I challenge you to try an Asian pear. (And a little tip, pair the pear with a savory cheese like bleu or pecorino and enjoy - delish!)

I've never been a pear person, yet I've been eying the Asian pears at our farmers' market! They're so beautiful I knew they had to be different! Can't wait to try one.
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous. I love pear juice too!

I LOVE Asian pears! That's one huge thing I miss about being at home. My parents bought them for several weeks every year. It was SOOO good!
ReplyDeleteI've always liked pears but I've never tried an asian pear! I must try one!!
ReplyDeleteI love Asia pears too! And such a good idea to pair them with bleu cheese.
ReplyDeleteI love Asian pears. A friend of ours has a tree so we get them by the bushel. Good thing I like them so much!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered asian pears too, and i love them! here's a yummy salad i've been making: baby arugula, asian pear slices, celery (sliced thinly on the bias), all tossed with a bit of champagne vinegar and evoo! Yuuuuummmy!
ReplyDeleteI am just the opposite...I love pears and apples but tried an Asian Pear this year and didn't care for it. I can't really explain why, though.
