What on earth is inside my pear?

[HairyPotter]

Bleugh!

I was eating in the the dark and didn't notice until it was too late.

O

Oh my god, that is terrifying.

Who the fuck's idea was it at HQ to add images to threads for the love of all that's fucking holy

You've put me off my hot cross bun forever

Beawheesht, this might put you off chocolate! Years ago I was eating a Dairy Milk bar and noticed lots of tiny white threads in the chocolate. We sent it to Cadbury's for analysis and they said it was harmless warehouse moth cocoons and quite common! They gave us a £5 voucher as a goodwill gesture.

OMFG! I hate holes! I hate Pears!

I'm really intrigued by this. I agree with a pp that said it doesn't look like part of the pear.

ask them if they have any idea what it could be?

I've been reading in horror. I need to get up and have a wee, but I'm scared the pear might get me.

tiny white threads

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

they always tell it's cocoa butter bloom

the fibbers

Pear mouse

Uh oh I found a photo of hairypotter...its not good news

Oooooo

Op -I think you have discovered a new breed of pear - a la the truffle pear - you could sell them for humungous amounts of dosh and we'd all be your new best friends!

I saw something like that once. I was working late, everyone else had gone home. There was a noise coming from the reception area. I went out but couldn't see anyone. I went back to my desk and just felt like someone was watching me. I don't know why. I couldn't shake it and I couldn't focus so I decided to go home. I logged out and painted my nails while I waited for my train to be due. I heard the noise again. Maybe someone had left their computer on with a game running or something? I went out past the reception again and pressed the lift button. As the lift door opened a little pear mouse fell out, it nearly landed on my foot. I would have picked it up and put it in the bin but my nails were wet. Funnily enough the next day I got a call to say that - (oh wait the baby is awake. I'll finish later.)

I am seriously disturbed by those photos. See, this is why I never eat pears and never will again

Plus, I've tried to do an internet search on what this could be (to appease my mind with a rational answer), opening up a Which article and now I can't close down the fecking page, it just keeps coming back up. You've cursed my laptop with your alien mouse baby pear

Lurking to see you all picked off one by one

Just read the whole pear-shaped thread

'oh that's a shame'

'oh that's a shame'

IS THAT ALL THEY'VE GOT TO SAY???!!?

They are in on it, OP, you're right. I wish you weren't, but you were.

Is Scotland still there?!? I've not seen anything on the news.

It'll be heading to me next. Is anyone down south who has a contingency plan?

Anything is fantastic if it doesn't contain a mass of seething evil when you bite into it.

And what is a contingency plan? I've never wrote or said it before

We're all doomed!!

Need to dash to school, will check back later!

Good luck HairyP thought you would have had a namechange to something pear-like!

Send photos to www.christinewalkden.com she will know what it is. Quite want to know now...

I reckon that it's a late infestation of pear midge fly, and that is the gall that they create. Shame you didn't check the pear more closely - they probably tunnelled out through the top, but you've eaten that bit so can't check. Normally the gall would develop on the fruitlet, and it would never grow into a full-size pear, so you'd never have seen it (it would look like this WARNING!! DISGUSTING PIC!) but if the thing had somehow been encapsulated inside the pear, it's possible that is what you've got.
