> Stefan asks how to tell cooking from eating pears.

Many years ago, in a land far, far away. ie when I was a small child 
growing up in England. We had several fruit trees in the garden. One 
of these was a large pear tree. The fruit was very hard and almost 
imposible to eat fresh.  But I liked the flavour and would chip 
little pieces off with my teeth. One pear would keep me busy for a 
long time. The family eat these pears after they had been either 
stewed or bottled. I have no idea what type of pear this was, but it was 
definately a cooking pear. So I can say when you have experienced the 
two types there is no question as to the difference between a 
cooking pear and an eating pear.
