Nobody Eats Medlars Anymore Because Of What They Resemble

If you are reading this and have heard of a medlar before, I’d be pretty impressed. These fruits are basically non-existent in the American food market because they apparently resemble an anus.

Medlars were extremely popular in Europe a couple hundred years ago. The medlar is a rare fruit that is ready in the winter and apparently has a cinnamon-applesauce type of flavor, making it very popular in pies and baked goods. Unfortunately, people just couldn’t get over its appearance when they are used to perfectly picked fruits and veggies.
