If I remember correctly, medlars also were like persimmons in that they 
almost had to be completely rotten to be eaten correctly. By this I mean they 
needed to be soft almost to liquidity. If my experience with persimmons is 
any guide, when they're firm they're acid enough to be inedible.

So we're not likely to find them in our supermarkets. Bummer.
