The Art and Mystery of Food: Medlar fruit and Jelly

Description

Medlar fruit and Jelly However, Shakespeare also makes use of other botanical comparisons in the play which are not so clear:
Now will he sit under a medlar tree,
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars, when they laugh alone.
O Romeo, that she were, O that she were
An open-arse and thou a poperin pear!
