It’s time for my after-dinner snack and as always my preference would be for something sweet and moist.
Cutting up the apples in the kitchen… and every single one is too bruised and old to eat. Which makes them pretty far gone, considering the quality of apple I am willing to eat. Mongolia is not kind to fruit.
Eyeing the Korean pears. Mr Corridor says they are cheaper and easier to get here than apples. So if I like it that would be very convenient…
They are much larger than the average apple, and moderately heavy. Chopping into quarters. The middle bit feels a bit woody, like a regular pear, but honestly the whole thing is pretty hard. I do not like hard pears. I am like my textures soft.
In it goes!
It’s very watery… not really any sweetness… just… water… and a cellular plant taste…
It’s so bland it’s quite unappetising.
Try some of the skin. Bah… it’s edible but kind of waxy…
More of the white flesh… no, now come on pear, why be so crunchy and nothing else? How can you have no taste? And even worse, how can you have no taste but taste bad? It’s creeping me out.
I don’t care if they’re cheap. No more Korean pears for me.
