sweet, silky and smooth
firm and crunchy or soft and juicy
eat it with cheese or salad
or maybe cook a pie or a tart
try an upside-down cake
or poaching them in wine
making some dried in the oven
(very low – don’t burn it)
but the best way is to gently pull it from a tree
and eat

Alas pears are in the capital country, and I’m in the North of the country. Most people out of the capital favor apples
