If one looks up 'warden pears' there will be many references to a
formerly popular type of pear used for baking.

It's like a Catch 22. To know that you have to look up "Warden pears" you
need to know that "Wardens" are pears. Which I didn't. Which was why I
asked.

Since wardens are suggested as a substute for apples, it stands to reason
that they are a type of food, so I used the search term "wardens food."
The first entry was a review of a restaurant in Australia.

The second entry had the sentence: "Warden is the old name for the small
hard cooking pear that used to grow in many country gardens." Didn't have
to know that wardens were a type of pear at all.

The context told you they were something to eat.

I did a search this but didn't find a reference. Must have missed it.
Whatever.
