This basket is brimming with pears! Romans apparently didn't enjoy this pomaceous fruit raw. At least 3 dozen different types of pears were cultivated, according to Pliny's Naturalis Historia, yet they were always stewed before eaten.Chomp! I'd rather sink my teeth into a ripe and crunchy pear:) Si hoc comprehendere potes, gratias age magistro Latinae french vintage postcard

I haven't had a fresh pear in a long time...it sounds really good.

I like pears in any way. This year we have a bumper harvest!
My wife and I picked a pint of Alpine strawberries this AM. YUM. And they're still blooming. We live almost a mile high, so the Alpine variety is pretty apt. Pears? They won't grow here, although we do enjoy pears whether they're relatively fresh or even canned.
I'm with you! A pear plucked from the tree is the best way to eat 'em!
I love fresh pears! What an interesting fact.
Thanks for stopping by and the lovely comment. I enjoy your blog very much.
I love fresh pear, sweet & crunchy.
I don't like pears, but planted several out back anyway. The deer love them and I enjoy fresh vension. ;)
I use to can baskets and baskets of pears for my son, he could eat them by the jars full in the winter, I think he still would, but I just don't seem to find the time to do this anymore. I don't particularly like pears, but I love your postcard.
I love pears, there's something about them that they seem to be the best of all worlds when it comes to fruit.

I love pears, all kinds. And yes, I can read this, and I do thank my Latin teachers!
The reason pears are problematic for people is, I think, a slight difficulty in getting them when they are ripe.. not too soon and definitely not too late. But because they seem to have a tremendous sugar content when they ARE ripe, that gives them an edge. Pears make some of the best brandy in this world.
