maybe a tumour. Do pears get tumours?

Eerrrrr, that's rank.
This whole thread is rank. Pepper moths, mould mounds, Jizz Mac, beetle buns
Poke it
Does it smell?

I want a baby pear mouse.

WowserBowser · 04/02/2014 10:22

I will give you 100 pounds if you eat a bit. Do you have paypal?

BearsBeetsBattlestarGalactica · 04/02/2014 10:24

Fry it up and eat it with some fava beans and a nice chianti

I was eating some Shredded Wheat and mashing it down into the milk because I liked it soggy.

I turned over one them to get the other side and there was a huge dead beetle cocooned in the strands. I'd been squeezing it into the milk and I'd drunk most of it.

We wrote to Nabisco to complain and I got loads of free cereal in compensation but I've never really liked Shredded Wheat since.

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!

You killed it, it's sending a silent signal that we are a hostile planet and must be invaded. We're doomed.

Dillydollydaydream · 04/02/2014 10:25

Oh my god. Just seen the cutted open pear picture Shock
For the love of God what is it?!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 04/02/2014 10:28

Was it an Asian Pear Hairy (the ones that are more apple shaped than pointy and they sell them wrapped in a little webbing jacket?)

Just Google Imaged them, they seem to have a bigger core than a regular pear.

(Still no idea what that is but it looks more plant than parasite rogue creature)

GlaikitFizzog · 04/02/2014 10:28

Hairy for the love of god woman, BURN IT, Burn it now before it buries I to your brain and you become a zombie.

I'm illing anyway, but that's just made sure. I'm off work tomorrow too.

Rikalaily · 04/02/2014 10:29

Omg it looks like a giant egg sac and the babies may have already vacated. Never buying pears again!! Shock

Hairy, we need to work out whether you are the first victim of the hideous alien parasite spawn, whose agonising death is overlooked by the authorities until it is almost too late, or the plucky maverick who single-handedly brings down the alien host.

Have you recently
(a) agreed to marry your childhood sweetheart
(b) decided to retire from your dangerous job and have only another 48 hours to get through
(c) uttered the words "I'll be right back", or
(d) worn a red shirt?

If so, do you have a current will in place?

BarbiesBeaver · 04/02/2014 10:35

The OP has disappeared...maybe because she has now been assimilated and the alien is using her body as a convenient cover to infect the rest of the population...

ghostinthecanvas · 04/02/2014 10:36

Bloody mumsnet. Ruined pears for me now I will never eat fruit again without slicing first
want a pear mouse too

sebsmummy1 · 04/02/2014 10:37

What the fuck is it though? I mean really? Surely there is done botanist on MN who can shed some light Shock

sebsmummy1 · 04/02/2014 10:37

Some

SundaySimmons · 04/02/2014 10:38

Repeats

Just to allay your fears. If it was over ripe and past it's peak then it will start to turn brown and soften from the core outward.

The flesh inside is breaking down.

TooWetToWoo · 04/02/2014 10:41

It might have been infected by the pear midge.

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 04/02/2014 10:41

But that's exactly what you would say if you were secretly the leader of the invading alien insectoid master race, Sunday. I've seen the films...

TheProsAndConsOfHitchhiking · 04/02/2014 10:42

WTAF is that???? Shock

HairyPotter · 04/02/2014 10:43

No, it was definitely pointy rather than apple shaped. I ate the pointy end before I realised the horrors underneath. Sad

Wowser no need for PayPal, you are on your way aren't you? You can pay me in cash. I might need to eat it before you get here though. But you can definitely trust me

Fizzy you are only an hour or so away from me, if that wuss Wowser doesnt show up. you could nip round for me couldn't you. And dispose of the

You see, now Hairy is trying to lure other unsuspecting members of the public round on the flimsy pretext of looking at the baby pear mice. She's definitely been assimilated.

HairyPotter · 04/02/2014 10:47

Sunday I really want to say that It was overripe and that's the perfectly sane, but still gross explanation.

But it wasn't Sad It's brothers and sisters were delicious yesterday and the day before.

Is it too late for me? Have I been infected by mutant pears? Did the first ones look normal to lull me into a false sense of security before sending the big guns in?
