Default quince (cydonia) - edible?

david taylor writes
One to an apple pie gives a delicious honey like flavour. I can eat cydonia
raw, but I also like raw lemons.
Look for an attractively coloured variety-the cheapest cydonia tens to have
smaller brick red flowers


Do you really mean Cydonia? The 'brick red' flowers sound more like the
'japanese quince' which is Chaenomeles
