Stark Brothers has a "Starking Delicious" Pear.

It's pretty decent.

It's real name is Maxine.

Yup; they took a Maxine and called it a "Starking Delicious"

I actually called them and confirmed this before buying 10 of them.

'Maxine' sounds like a large, old, dumb woman.

 

So, sometimes you actually CAN put lipstick on the pig.

It's too bad some folks make dumb assumptions like, name = quality, but it happens all the time. "Hot Dog" is a tidy little name. Would you eat it if it was named of it's contents? Hell no.

In the not too distant past I was chastised on a cheese making list for referring to a cheese I was making as Brie.  I was informed by another member that the cheese names referred to the production of certain locations, species… and were not to be used for “like products” .  She then informed me of the names she had chosen for her products which involved names drawn from local landmarks.

 

 I was “persuaded” to follow her example and promptly dubbed my next cheese  “Clay Peak Sanitary Landfill and Motorcycle Park” .  It was actually a rather nice feta.

 

BTW I have a Keepsake tree and very much enjoy the fruit.
