i've never had a pear that was better than a good apple. i think i prefer pears to be cooked in things, like pies or cobblers. raw pears are just too mushy for my tastes. maybe it's just the sorts i've had tho- are there crispy pears??
Aaanyway ... you certainly CAN get crisp pears. But crispness in pears tends to go hand in hand with unripeness. I'm not a fan of pears that are so soft that one bite seems to break their surface tension, leaving you with mush all over your hands and face. Ideally, they should still have SOME substance. It's just that they have to be juicy, too.
