Big is that a worm I can see in that pic? Shock

Door that worries me. Are you sure they are a proper greengrocer and not part of the cult? They could be a plant!

Dog where in Scotland are you? I don't mind popping round with a cup of sugar or the like. Just to be sociable you understand.

Ugh. It reminds me of photos of a dissected parasitic twin I once saw. Are there teeth in it OP? Hair?

Maybe there were originally two pears. Pear twins. A pair of pears.

I've done a good Google search, hoping to come up with a perfectly reasonable explanation.

I found nothing.

I think it's an insect maggot chamber....

You lot should have learnt this lesson. Pears should always be CUTTED UP before eating.
Bleurgh.

I just showed the pictures to my green grocer friend (hoping to come back here with a smart pants explanation) and his expert opinion was "what the fuck is that? I've never seen anything like that in my life"

Adds weight to the consiracy theories methinks!

The Fig 3 picture of the Bartlett pear with core breakdown could be at an earlier stage than your pear? www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/hort/news/tenderfr/tf1605a3.htm

For the love of God, Hairy, is there no limit to the number of people you will try to lure into your infernal web?

You're on your own Glaikit, nobody else is going near that death pear.

They always do this on the films. They always go back into the rubbish bin at the end to rescue the pear and killed by the egg-spawn of death.

Sooooooo Wowser and Fizzy have abandoned me to the mutant pear zombies. Anyone's else want to pop round for coffee and a lovely slice of homemade pear tart?

ABWAC that looks suspiciously like my one. [Grin] Do you get yours delivered?

Oh god that's horrifying.

Sunday I like your only rational explanation, but I don't think it holds up. If it was rotting from the inside, it would be mushy. This thing looks quite solid,

And it seems like the pear has grown around it and created a cavity for it - look how the pear flesh has come away cleanly from it. If it was the core rotting from the inside out, the core and the flesh would be one.

My first thought was that it looked exactly like an avocado stone, but now that it's been cut open and is spongy with chambers, I'm not so sure...

Hairy how solid was it? Was it easy to cut? Does it smell?

Has anyone actually Googled for a sensible explanation, or would that spoil the fun?

Tomorrow you will be awoken by hideous fruity pain...and will birth my hideous fruity alien babies.....from your behindwards vent.

Hairy? Hairy are you still with us?

Right folks, we might have a man down, we must save her.

Who's with me?
