nashi pear

...oh so that's why they're called that!

(I kept translating their Israeli name as "presidential apple" and couldn't understand what they have to do with presidents. I think it's actually spelled differently?)

They're very tasty! It's almost like an apple, but still obviously a pear. Often a bit too sweet, though.

Nashi pear? Nashi pear! It took about another week and a half to ripen enough for it to be edible. I've tried this one before but it's been a long time and I kind of forgot what it was like?

The nashi pear (pyrus pyrifolia) tastes somewhere in between an apple and a pear. This particular one was very mild and a little bit grainy. I thought it was okay, partner didn't really like it, but I also feel like there's some luck involved with nashi pears because I see plenty of people go mad for them.

All in all maybe not the most exciting fruit, but fun to try nonetheless. Let me know whether you've had a nashi pear and what you thought about it! I'm still waiting for that quince (cydonia oblonga) to ripen and I'll probably make a jam or marmelade out of it, after trying it raw.

The Asian Pear is a Beautiful Flowering Tree

Pear Branch Every once in a while, I like to take the back roads home from work. I never know what I might see on those roads. I’m usually looking for wildlife or wildflowers, but once I even got to watch a group of men herding cattle from one field to another using dogs and horses. There’s also a cattle egret rookery along that route that I like to check for signs of activity (it’s still a bit…

Looked up, saw a rainbow lorikeet just chilling in the pear tree and I thought 'how cute!' Till I remembered that he and his friends probably ate everything on that damn tree 😡

went over and sure enough. Not a single pear in the vicinity that wasn't half gone. They're not even RIPE and they eat them. There were 2 red plums in a tree and they were both half gone too. There is a third nice one that is too underripe yet. I CANT WIN

So Sukuna is from the heian era so he probably has only eaten a couple types of fruit (a quick google search says primary fruit in Japan at that time were persimmon and nashi pear), any ways he's never had strawberries! Or bananas! Or lychees!

I figure he doesn't like pop because it's too sweet and doesn't like popcorn because of the texture. So imagine feeding him some "exotic" fruit for the first time, do you think he'd like them?

Oooh I love that!! I think that Sukuna is very open to tasting food he never tried before. He is curious about it, eager to learn, and eager for a new experience. Also very critical, probably, but I guess with fruit, there wouldn't be much for him to criticize.

I love the idea of feeding Sukuna some fruit he never tried before. There is something very sensual about that. Like imagine holding out a strawberry to him, and you feel his large hand wrap around your wrist and bring the fruit to his mouth while you hold it.

You feel Sukuna's lips and tongue and even his teeth brushing over your fingertips as he eats. He doesn't let you pull your hand away, but you wouldn't even want to. It's so mesmerizing to watch Sukuna taste this new fruit in a way that can only be described as passionate.

His eyes are closed, and he sighs as he swallows, clearly approving of the taste. His mouth closes around the strawberry again, suckling on it, savoring it to the fullest, taking his time to taste it. Your pulse is racing as you watch him. Sukuna is always a beautiful man, but right now he looks otherworldly. You understand why he is called a God. He looks like an angel with his eyes closed and his face soft like that. Somehow, this moment feels so intimate, as if you are allowed to witness something very rare, something almost sacred.

And then those beautiful eyes open and look deeply into yours as a small grin lifts the corners of Sukuna's lips, and his hand tightens around your wrist before you feel his tongue lick up all the juice that was running down your hand, licking all the way up from your racing pulse in your wrist to your tingling fingertips, which he sucks into his warm mouth for a moment.

When Sukuna is finally finished, and no trace of strawberry juice is left on your skin, he presses a light kiss on your fingertips. His voice is low, sounding sensual and very pleased when he tells you,

"That was a true delicacy. Thank you for introducing it to me."

Lorcan Kan's Things Palace at Flawd yesterday. A chef I've been friendly with for several years, back when I was buying jars of sambal and chilli oil from him during the pandemic.

Raw dexter beef rump with wild garlic sambal, grilled scallions and wheat berries. Such incredible use of spice and texture.

Pea dip (a bit like a split pea houmous) with pine cone jam and sourdough.

Gem lettuce and nashi pear with egg curry salad cream and dill.

So sad nobody got the pun in this post :( But I'm sharing in case you're curious! Because I think it sounds cute! So, in the Japanese language pear is called nashi (梨 or ナシ) and an old word for avocado is waninashi - 鰐梨 (mostly until the 1960s). Which basically means crocodile pear (because wani - crocodile *aslo alligator). Now it's simply called avocado (アボカド) though.

Since everything has to be about Sebek here, I couldn't miss such an opportunity to talk about it. I imagined he would bring not just a pear, but a crocodile pear💚💚💚💚
