Hahaha, i probably got the same or similar box! My box has the green comice pears and yeah the skin is thicker than i remember and really not tasty and tough. I sliced and peeled the rest of the one i ate yesterday after the first bite was a whollllleeee lotta skin. Yikes.
My box also included some red pears that have a very thin delicate stem and are taller with a slender neck as it were- those are fine not peeled.
I suspect H&D tinkered around for a thicker skin version so they would withstand shipping better-kinda like those cherry tomatoes in the winter with a thick tough skin. Sigh.
