Now that would be pretty rare!

(In case they get around to editing their page, I promise that it says "pear" as I am writing this.)

How would a pear fit in a clam?

A pear? A pear-shaped pearl? Or a pearl-shaped pear? Or a pear of clams?

I found a banana in a clam once. And a head of lettuce.

I've heard of a partridge in a pear tree, but never a pear in a clam.

I've found small pearls in mussels from time to time. They're the size of that ball on a pin

Someone needs to "pear" the deadwood from this story.

I was in the Navy with Joe Catudal from North Attleboro, Mass. Joe mentioned going quahog hunting once, and I got the image of some fury critter. After all these years, it's hard to accept something with that name as a clam. Live and learn.

So hard to distinguish the tree raised pears from the clam raised ones.

Here I am looking for avocados, apples, oranges, grapes, tomatoes, and cabbage.
