Again, thanks for your help and pointers; now I shall ask some local
experts about quince --- perhaps it HAS been ripe and I didn't
recognize the fact ---.

But cook it or make jam from it. The original marmalade was made with
quince - Cydonia NOT Chaenomeles. You do need to watch out for any
muddle between those two, btw.

If you think that true quince is inedible raw, try Chaenomeles :-)

Nick Maclaren.

I did. Once. Never, ever, ever again. It's a wonder I had children after
that. ;-)
