Neither really - it’s quite grainy (like a pear) and bitter and tough, so needs a good amount of cooking to go soft, at which point it is like the love child of a poached pear and Turkish delight. Makes great jam, quince vodka and membrillo

Yes because I had the experience of a flight being booked by a travel agent with @britishairways who popped us all on the reserved list,didn’t tell us, we couldn’t check in missed 2x flights to Peru🤦🏼‍♀️BA customer services uphold it’s not their fault, even though ground staff said it 💯 was.Rant over 😬

I have a thatched house and am led to believe you either have one big man rat scuttling around or families of females with children. But always rats.

Yes that’s also terrible particularly when you read that Google is recommissioning old nuclear reactors to provide power. I am not sure how much water it costs to run Bluesky’s servers either
