Title: Apples or Pears?
Post by: Cbsteffen on December 10, 2018, 07:00:47 pm
A “Fries or Onion Rings” discussion got started, so I thought about introducing a similar topic (but about foods more heathful). Which pome fruit(s) do you like better? I’ll say pears for now.

I like them both. But it seems that apples are my go to when the pears aren't ripe enough to eat right away.  Since i work in a grocery store it's convenient to just jump over to produce and grab a fresh piece of fruit.  I enjoy pears or apples with a ham steak... mixed with cornstarch, cinnamon and sugar for a a cream texture allowing the fruit to get a little soft.  OH YUM - I haven't made that in years.  With a sticky white rice or risotto.

I really love both but I eat apples more often. I think it's more difficult to find a good tasting pear.

:menorah:   :santa:   :snowflake:  I love them both. I have to be in the mood for one or the other. If its pie of course I'd eat apple pie any day. I haven't heard of pear pie yet, but as people make a bunch of different foods this fruit might just get made into a pie.  :menorah:  :santa:  :snowflake:

Pears, actually. It's funny I eat apples all the time and pears not so much, but in truth the apples are not very good. I feel like I haven't had in apple that actually tasted appley since I was a kid. They are just what I'm in the habit of eating I guess.

i really like both. But i think i prefer pears however it is much harder for me to find a ripe pear. Apples are much easier to take on the go and apples aren't as juicy as pears. :present: :peace: :santa:

For anyone else who may be wondering what the heck a "pome fruit" is; I looked it up.

"Pome fruits are members of the plant family Rosaceae, sub-family pomoideae. They are fruits that have a "core" of several small seeds, surrounded by a tough membrane. The membrane is encased in an edible layer of flesh." . . . from Google search.

You learn something new every day.

I prefer apples over pears.  I really like Braeburn apples.  Red delicious are probably my least favorite apple variety.

A good juicy pear is a great treat.

I love them both but eat more apples.  Pears are really only available here in the summer months, but apples all year.

Apples.  I thoroughly despise pears.  I don't like the texture of the fruit.

I like Pears better. I guess I like them better because they are more expensive than Apples and I can't afford them as much as I can Apples.
