Pyrus communis, the common pear, is a species of pear native to central and eastern Europe, and western Asia. [ 3 ] It is one of the most important fruits of temperate regions, being the species from which most orchard pear cultivars grown in Europe , North America , and Australia have been developed.
Possibly because of this idiom, the names "choke pear" and "pear of anguish" have been used for a gagging device allegedly used in Europe, sometime before the 17th century. [6] Dalechamps has identified this with the species of pear that Pliny the Elder listed as "ampullaceum" in his Naturalis Historia. [7]
