What kind of vegetable/fruit is this?

[Twister]

It's from a chinese vendor in Rome. I wasn't there so I couldn't ask, I don't think it's an Italian product. It's not as pear it's much bigger the size of a bigger honeydew. I suspect it's a vegetable. Thanks

thank you ....but the size of a honeydew melon? Look at the one on the right bottom not shaped as a pear...

Then just look for one that's the size of a honeydew melon and shaped like one. Also these are also photoshopped, they usually come with sun spots.

They're not yali pears, these are yali pears. https://www.google.ca/search?q=YaLi...r-7NAhUY5WMKHdrrAG4Q_AUICCgB&biw=1680&bih=921
Its not photoshopped I took it from a video.
I think they're a type of squash.

I am pretty sure they are yali pears. What kind of squash has a stem that small.

Why is it not an Italian product? Pears are one of the country's biggest exports.

Not really into yali pears, tastes like a diluted lichee fruit. Strange but interesting thread.

That is a photo of a calabash [url]https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=calabash+tree+pictures but it looks a bit different from the OP's photo.
