Medlars in Mignerak. A fruit you don’t eat until it’s rotten, that’s called open-arsed. Medlars are a winter fruit that don’t soften until they get hit by frost or have sat in storage long enough. The process is called bletting. It’s interesting to go through the designs in Mignerak and see pomegranates and strawberries, grapes, and acorns, but also things like gourds, citron, and other less usual horticultural choices. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10526079n/f15.item.r=Mignerak
