The other is what I call sand pears. They are barely edible tho in a pinch, I would cook them and add sugar.

Would they work as a perry (cider) pear? Or maybe pear vinegar? Some pears are better cooked or juiced than they are for eating fresh.

There is a pear that is good to eat fresh? News to me. Maybe the experience when I was 8 ruined pears for me. ;)

Never, ever, ever eat green ones. If they are that ripe, may as well squoze 'em, make fermentables with the juice and feed the pomace to the chickens and pigs.

I don’t know. They are large white pears with a yellow skin. You can eat them raw and they are not that bad but not what you would choose if you had anything else.
