There are a number of pears that have been sold as Korean Giant, so it may not be one of the best. The true one is supposed to be very late ripening and will improve in storage.

I tried a Korean giant pear about one week ago. It was not what I expected. The texture and flavor (including a fair percentage grit cells) was much more like a european pear than the asian pears I am familiar with. It reminded me of the "ok, but not very exciting" european pears I grew up with in Africa (not costal -- up over a mile high).

The question is: is that what I should expect from that pear? Is it possible that it wasn't properly ripe? (It didn't feel super hard, but it wasn't exactly soft, either.)
