I would say no then, medlar tastes really nice but you need to blet it and its a faff to eat with seeds etc unless you make it into something. Quince is less faff to eat but is less tasty. If you want something really tasty that delicious straight from the plant its a Chilean guava. However I am guessing you might not be able to grow them, even here they unfortunately died from freak dry cold event with no snow after surviving far colder.

I disagree, medlars are worth it even with the bletting and the seeds! You can make a lovely crumble with them. They make a good fruit leather, if that’s not too similar to jam. They are messy trees though, quite sprawling and floppy, not like a nice little apple or cherry. Shout out for pheasant berry, too. Shrub rather than tree, but they are delicious.

This is what I was thinking as well. Chilean guavas grow well in my region 👍 And pineapple guavas also grow well but some years they get knocked out by a particularly bad cold snap.
