One has just ate alvery large Pear very nice it was too,but rather a messy fruit to eat, one can get covered in juice, one used to be a fruit peeler, indeed one has a beautiful 6 " pearl handled switch blade stilletto for this purpose ,but one finds of late that just taking a bite chewing it up separating the peel in ones gob and spitting same out, into a convinient receptical is the least messy although this method may be frowned upon in pollite company.
The only other option is to chew the whole lot up and swallow it pips and all,but this always seemed a tad uncouth to me even monkeys peel fruit before eating.
Impresses the hell ourt of the ladies when one whips out a pearl handled stilletto after the cheese and bickies and commenses to peel ones after dinner apple.
