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.

My first thought, "Oh, the stone's just gone mouldy, what's the big deal?" Then I remembered pears don't have stones.

Run, Hairy Pear Potter. I can't believe you let MN convince you to bring it back into the house! And cut into it! You've clearly released the swarm by now.

Hmmmmmm Thumb I reckon if hairy clicks on that link and thinks about tunnelling through the skin, she'll see the bit of pear she ate pretty soon.

Hairy skips to the toilet...oops, not quite

OMFG. There is no way i'm clicking Thumb's link. This is horrific.

I had a pear recently with what looked like a seed pod growing inside, round the core. That was offputting enough and it was def vegetation based, if you see what i mean.

I can't better the suggestions on here, you've definitely got some sort of scary infestation, but hopefully you've killed it and it's not sent messages to it's people so no invasion due

I can't believe the response from the fruit and veg people! They have to be in on it or they would be more horrified by it.

For some reason I keep scratching reading this thread, like when people talk about nits...

(Seriously, fig 3 and core breakdown seem possible)

I've just woken up from a wee nap to find my mutant pear on mn fb page! At least my worktop wasn't manky

Too scared to click Thumbs link, anyone want to summerise?

Should I go to the Daily Fail? I could complain about cult leading greengrocers foisting mutant pear babies/zombie pears on me. I can even do a sad face along with dd2 (who was far from impressed when she came home from school and discovered it)

I think you should send the photo to Kew Gardens for starters. They might be able to tell you what it is, and if not, they'll know who you should send it to. I looked at codling moth infestations, but apart from one pic, it didn't really look like yours.

I hope this teaches you to never eat fruit in the dark again though! Always be able to see what you're eating, just in case!

that's it - I'm giving up fruit for life, I always knew chocolate was better for you.

Yeah Gods HOW can you nap when the BabyMousePear or BabyPearMouse/ Alien/Mutant is loose in your kitchen? Mankying up your worktops now . Hmmmmmm?

Thumbs link involves 7 maggots in a fruit kittens and embroidery .

Honest

I am definitely not possessed by the maggot Aliens either. I had to cut open my neighbour's brains to check they weren't infected but they looked ok. Tasted delicious too.

thats a shame? THAT'S A SHAME?

Is that it? Did they somehow miss the photo of the pear mouse/alien/chamber/testicle?

Ask them what the actual fuck it is

I feel quite sick now. And I am not clicking that link

I feel all itchy ready thinking that thousands of pear bugs have somehow crawled out of those holes and are somewhere....ugh

My sister sent a dead insect back to a famous Tea supplier. They replied (not that's a shame ) it was the SKIN of the insect that had shed, (so the actual insect was probably still in the tea??)

If your piggies are like mine, you'd never hear the last of it. Fussy is an understatement!

it's a bit like that old joke:

"what's worse than finding a maggot in your apple"

"half a maggot in your apple"

I clicked Thumb's link.

HP DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK.

I am down South too zzzzz It's too late. Let me inspect your brains....

Why did Mumsnet have to link to this on Fb??

My fellow commuters are regarding my growing looks of horror with utmost curiosity. Perhaps I should ask them what they think? (Although I'm not sure how many botanists there are on the no. 6 bus).

Do NOT click on Thumbwitch's link. I did and it can never be erased . But I think she might be right.

Reading this thread with growing horror, and the voiceover lady on Nicktoons has just announced that "All the best things come in pairs". I think not lady

Never ever ever agin will I eat a pear!

The fuck

I need to know what this is. By all that is Holy, someone identify this horror.

If you're in the Grampian area I'd gladly come for a gander!

why were you eating in the dark? were you hiding from something?

I want to lose a bit of weight. I might print the manky pear pictures off and stick them on the fridge. No way would I want to eat anything if I had to look at that first.

Are you sure it's a pear OP? Vegboxes have all kinds of odd things in them, might be something else entirely?
