A few years ago, I was in Asia for the first time. On a ship in Malaysia, to be specific. I was chitchatting with a Malaysian coworker before our shift started, and on our way out I grabbed a nice looking fruit on my way out of the galley. I took a bite, and it was like nothing I'd ever tasted before, so of course I had to ask what kind of fruit it was.
"Uh.... a pear?" My coworker replied, surprised that I had to ask. To me pears are green, and has a completely different texture. I never knew yellow ones existed until then.
Arent most pears yellow when they are ripe?
I'm from Indonesia and it's common to see distinctively different kind of pears. There are pears that are significantly yellow even when ripe, they are also more round-shaped than the usual pear-shaped pear.
Sometimes they can be more crunchy like apple.
Tbh I don't know the exact name, I just called them "yellow pear."
It could have been a Williams pear. They ripen from green to yellow. Some even have a pinky peach blush. They’re so soft and sweet and juicy when perfectly ripe.
In the uk we commonly have Williams (yellow) or conference (green sometimes with a brown skin)
