Yup. I want to like them - what a fun name! - but they really taste awful
Yeah. The smell is just... Ugh gag worthy.
Yeah. Would've been grapefruit until a few years ago, but I can tolerate that now.
I used to feel the same way. I don't know why my opinion changed. I was making a smoothie and ate a couple of slices while I was throwing it into the blender. I haven't eaten a pear in probably 15 to 20 years or more. The stuff I used to hate was actually ok. It had a kinda course texture and a mild sweetness. Not overly sweet like some apples. And it was firm. I used to hate them hence my not touching them in years, but now I'm not sure.Fuck pears, they're gritty and taste like shit. Wannabe apples.
I enjoy most fruits to varying degrees except grapefruit. I can't get over it's strong, bitter taste.
