Pear connoisseurs ahoy
After some tough and gritty Aussie Packhams, I've been revelling in the delectable Chinese Ya. The Ya pear is an apple-pear hybrid. It's crisp like an apple but delicate and easy to bite into. It's juicy like a pear but lighter in texture. Works well in salads, they say. Although someone reckons its flavour is part way between a rose and a pineapple, the words subtle and honey are my best fit. From the outside, it's egg-shaped and pale yellow. 
From the inside, I imagine it's dark but it's hard to tell as I've not been inside a pear before. Do Ya know any better? The other Asian pear I've tried is the Japanese Nashi, grown in the Adelaide hills. Ya wins, hands down. China's "Fragrant" variety is the height of Asian pear delight, they say. There are so many Asian pear varieties that, for all I know, Ya could have been Fragrant. What have Ya been eating? Shout out to APAL. Check your season.
