16 Answers
Himself brought home four fruits that were advertised as 'Chinese moon pears' but I've googled it and can't find anything - anyone got any ideas (they look like really fat, pale pears). Thank you.

Yesterday I was in a supermarket in Singapore. I was in the fruit department and I saw moon pears. I have never tried them and I couldn`t have bought one to bring back to the UK because Customs wouldn`t have liked it. Chinese moon pears are quite big, are orange coloured and look like a fat doughnut.
A late answer: in China, one way to serve this fruit is to slice it lengthways (like a Terry's Choc orange!) then to drizzle runny honey over it. The best flavour honey for this comes from the flowers of the Osmanthus bush, but I have never seen that in Europe, even at our Chinese supermarket. It is a simple but delicious dessert.
