Answer 1

A pear is a fruit.

Answer 2

I guess you are talking about CHAYOTE

VEGETABLE PEAR

Chayote (Sechium edule), also known as: custard marrow, christophene (France, Caribbean), chouchoute (Madagascar, Polynesia), brione (France, West Indies), vegetable pear, cho-cho, soussous, chuchu, choko, pipinella, xuxu, mirliton (southern U.S.), mango squash, and huisquil. For all these exotic names, this is simply a subtropical member of the squash family, eaten as a vegetable.

It is a pear shaped fruit, has a single seed and a taste similar to zucchini. The young root tubers are also eaten. Chayote is native to Mexico and Central America and was a popular vegetable with the Mayas and Aztecs. It's cultivation has spread all over the world, including Algeria, Madagascar, Polynesia, southern U.S., China, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia.

Whoever told you it could be considered a vegetable was, to be blunt, a moron.

The difference between fruits and vegetables is NOT determined by the article being Savory or Sweet.
