Possibly my shortest post ever! I bought these 'fun-sized pears' over a month ago in Lidl. While not quite 'as green as grass', they were damn close, but I figured, that I could wait a few weeks or two, for them to mature.
As can be seen, at least one month on, ripe they aint! There was 7 in the bag originally, and yesterday, selecting the most succulent, took a bite. The verdict, medium sweet, but still way too hard, and by no means 'succulent'.
My question, why are completely inedible fruit like these for sale, and most importantly, what are they doing to these pears to slow their maturation? It's unnatural to see a bag of pears, placed in an open window (therefore, plenty of sunshine), remain green like this.
It might be interesting to track the above pear's ripening, so I'll try and resist the urge to go chomping on them, till they begin to resemble something edible - the pear, top-right is likely to be the first contender. Time will tell.
