Asian Pears

On my walk to work today I saw a man and a woman (probably people with a small farm) selling Asian pears off the back a small truck (didn't think to get a pic).  People often due that in my area: nuts, potatoes, or whatever fruit is in season.  Usually you can get a better deal than in the stores, even the small produce shops that I frequent.

I don't buy pears for my apt. often here for one reason: they're big.  It's difficult for a single person to eat one.  However, because I was going to work I bought some to share with staff and students. Seven for $5, a very good price.  (One got consumed before I thought to take a pic.)

They need to be peeled, but that's fairly easy as the skin is a bit leathery.
