Asian pears are all right, but the one I tried wasn't very flavorful, so I wasn't very impressed. If I just want crisp, watery, vaguely sweet something, then I'll go for jicama which at least is much cheaper.
I love bosc pears.

there's this one stall at the farmer's market that has AMAZING bosc pears. I don't know why theirs are always so much better, but they're so delicious, I'm salivating just at the thought of them. Wow, really salivating. Huh. Maybe I should eat dinner.
Anyhow.
Bosc pears.
Really delicious.
