On GQT this afternoon, a man was asking about some fruit and was

Certain fruits need to be bletted before they're fit to eat. That's to

that they need to ripen to the point of almost but not quite, rotten.
Medlars are a classic example of such treatment.-

Experience?

Medlars go from golden skin and light flesh to brown skin and soft brown
flesh.

A case of for Bletter or worse?
