They’ve been taking lessons from pears, which also have a minute window when they’re actually edible.

Pears yes. They need to go on the list as well.

They sit there unripe and then wait for you to leave the room.
Instantly turn brown.

Ive got a quarter of this piece of cement in my dinner at the moment. I put the rest in the fridge. It better soften up for tomorrow.

Oh dear. This has reminded me that I bought an avocado last week that felt like it had to be eaten that day. Need to find that in the fridge...
