Possible consensus from homegrowers, I've seen varying opinions overthe years at various messagesites where I've posted, but when I was selling fruits to restauants they couldn't get enough Yellow Pears, and also the small Red Pears I used to grow which I think have a much better taste than the Yellow, both being pre-1800 varieties, and if both are still available today that suggests to me, at least, that not everyone dislikes them or they wouldn't be with us today.
