They're alright. I don't mind them with other stuff to compliment each other, but by itself I usually go for other fruit. Could just be bad picks, but they always have a sandy gritty texture and it doesn't give good mouth feels.
I LOVE PEARS, they are so delicious and good for you. More specifically, my favorite variety are asian pears — the perfect blend between a crunchy apple and luscious texture of a nice green pear!
