Talking of things historical, they also feature in Shakspeare.





























His name for them is open bum, I'm afraid. Can I be sent to the norty step for a bardic reference?

Quince paste, (we call it q cheese), my mum used to make them with walnuts in, lovely.

But still, they are not nice to eat without being cooked.

I've had quinces from the trees on our site which are lovely - a bit like pears. Apparently quince jam was the original marmalade.

I made quince and banana wine once. It was.............unusual!
