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

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....

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.

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.

Yup he was a proper green grocer! Mind you he did ask "where did you get this picture?" in a rather shifty eyed dramatic fashion.
I'm sorry to say I folded like a deck of cards and squealed on you by saying "hairy potter told me" Grin

Interestingly, he said he had to go and hasn't come back yet.

We are in Scotland too.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry suspicious door
Did he look guilty/shifty?
Has he been selling these Fruity Alien Baby Surrogates?
Does he have a white fluffy cat that he strokes "Well, Meester Bond" villan stylee?

The mutant pears are circling. I can feel it.

The greengrocer cult member does he do deliveries? My next box is coming tomorrow and I'm going to make sure I'm out. Can I leave your address Door? Or anyone of the other Scottish contingency? I can see you all hiding....

I have cut it open a bit more.

MIL gave me a bag of plums that she'd de-stoned and sliced ready for the freezer after her neighbour gave her loads from his tree - but only after telling me that she'd found a load of little worms in one that she'd been eating!

I know that these ones had been sliced and apparently checked but they all went in the bin anyway

OMG those little craters .......something has hatched and escaped into the fruit?

Or it might be where the seeds were

Fuck me.

Hairy, you are going to be responsible for a massive fall in pear sales. I will never be able to eat one again. Shock

I showed the picture to my 20 month old. She said

"Aahhhhh. Deetdur."
Me: "Creature?"
Dd: "Yes."

So there you have it. It's officially a creature.

But the question is: is it the type of creature that is awakened from stasis by being poked or cut with a knife?

The fruit and veg company have just replied. I wrote, please do not send pears this week as I can't face them after finding this

They replied with 'oh that's a shame, they are fantastic this week'

Clearly proof that they are in cahoots. Grin

0v0, all pears will now be cutted up before consumption from here on in.

Lou, you are brave showing your dd the photo. Mine are 15 and 10 and I would never get them to eat fruit again if I showed them it.
