From your description of the thorns I would guess that this is a quince. Bitter until dead ripe, and the seeds are known to be very toxic. Locally it’s usually made into jam or pate de coing. We had one for it’s pretty red flowers, but the thorns eventually got to me and I dug it out.

Hi,
Or soy sauce. Those are unripe soy beans. They will darken as they ripen. They are harvested late, after the plant has turned brown and dry. Living in southern Minnesota for thirty years gave me a familiarity with them I can’t seem to shake!
Cheers,
Keith

Hard and bitter, not apple-y at all! It's the countryside that is teasing us, with it's cuckoo fruit. We did get one good pear!

We join you in the eye rolling. Tell J it was a nostalgic photo, and assure him that butt pictures are now a thing of the past.

J says: for goodness sake! Why did you take a cow butt picture without Joe?! You have to do it with Joe! Also - you can do it without Joe. Maybe only one time each day…
Me: *rolling my eyes at this nonsense
