Pomegranates Rock My World

[Funkified]

oh, i'll say it again, pomegranates make life more exciting.

[FemmeDemonica]

Good stuff, but high-maintenance. Maybe I just don't know how to eat them. I dunno.

[Herself]

mmmmm....you know, I'm convinced that the "forbidden fruit" in the Garden of Eden was a pomegranate, and not an apple as suggested by so many people. It just makes more sense.

"Maybe I just don't know how to eat them. I dunno."

Hahaha. You just peel off the outer skin; put the whole mass of seeds on a plate; steady it with your hands from moving left, right, backwards, or forwards, and keep it steady while you do the next thing, which is bend your head over until your mouth contacts the mass of seeds, and you dig into it with your teeth. Yes, you may get red juice on your nose and chin and cheeks as well as in your mouth. Or, if you don't want to flop your head forward, just get Funkified to push the mass of seeds into your face.

they are labour-intensive, but oh so good.

i like to put them in salads. yum!

[SharkbarkBE]

pomegranites labor intensive? I just cut them in half and chew out the insides! ;D

[LadyFaile]

i dunno i guess i never figured it out either. i was always just told to chew the seeds and spit them out, but then i wonder how you can make recipes with them?
in salad?

i'm clueless

[LadyFaile]

yeuch, really?
anyway to me it seems to be more work than it's worth, like artichoke. that's just me though
