It's not a nashi....

Well, my Dad emailed me excitedly the other day. In his lunch room they provide fruit daily, and on this day there was a strange type of fruit in the bowl. It was the size of an onion, and it was 'half-pear, half-apple', but NOT a nashi! He reported that it tasted like pear, with a hint of apple flavour.

We do of course know though that nashis are not in fact a cross between an apple and a pear. This is a myth, however we do take advantage of it!
