Pomegranates

[FMluvswater]

Do you like them? Kind of an interesting fruit IMO.
After dinner tonight with my son, ex-MIL, my ex and his gf we all had one and I found it interesting how we all approach them differently. (I'm sitting here laughing that I'm actually gonna post this as a topic :rolleyes: ... :D )
Ok so my ex-MIL cuts it in quarters pops out a few eats them and so on,
my ex rips it apart and eats the fruit right off the rind,
my son likes the quartered wedges- he picks each seed carefully and eats then one by one,
ex's gf peels a bit pops out a few then eats them peels some more etc,
and me ... well I peel the entire thing, pile up all the fruit until they are all out of the rind and eat them by the handfuls. I have very long nails .. peeling it and removing the seeds tonight without squirting sticky juice everywhere was a challenge but I did manage to do it. :D
If you eat pomegranates I just wanna know how you go about it. Oh and do you spit out or swallow the seeds? Ex, ex-MIL and I swallow them - my son and ex's gf spit them out after.
Why do I wanna know? I dunno- why is the sky blue? I just do. LOL! :D

I have a Pomegranate tree in my backyard. I eat them with my LAWN MOWER eek! :D :D

One by one just like you son. I love it when my fingers get all red and that stuff is hard to get off. I dont know how many shirts I have ruined because of them. I do buy the juce in the store. Its suppost to be really good for you. I have a small glass every day.

[91nordic29]

on or two at a time, swallow juice, spit seeds. wink

[Caribbean Jet]

I'm still trying to figure out who everybody is and if I read correctly how you came about eatting this strange fruit together?
To answer your question, cut in half and eat one by one.

[DansBlown73Nordic]

I just want to know where I can find some of this stuff???? :confused:

[Her454]

First of all it doesnt matter HOW you eat it, but how you STEAL IT. I dont think I ever ate a Pomegranite I didnt steal from a neighbors yard as a kid.... wink
But once I steal it, I break it off in quarters and take the seeds out and then eat them... :)
Her454 <--------just branded herself a thief. eek!

The sky is blue because the sun reflects off the water. hence why the sky is black at night.
As for swallowing.....Keep doing that and you'll have a tree growing out your ass! :D

[Ziggy]

Cut and eat...like a pre-historic man wink seeds and all. BTW-don't think I've ever bought one either, friend had one in his yard made one hell of a mess on the concrete by the pool.
.
So I want to be curious as you now...what is an Ex-MIL? Probably feel stupid once you answer that one won't I? :rolleyes: :D

To answer your question, cut in half and eat one by one. We'd had a meeting regarding my son's progress with some challenges he's been having (he has autism) and had dinner together afterwards. My ex-MIL supplied the pomegranates.

titties and beer:
yes we eat them,my dad made wine out of them, :D when i was a kid i pissed off my brother and walked away, and he thru one and hit me in the head,DAM NEAR KILLED ME, HE WAS A PITCHER IN LITTLE LEAGUE,that red shit was everwhere ,looked like i got shot OMG!! I could so picture that!! I bet that hurt like hell!! Them things are packin weight! eek!
They make grenadine syrup out of pomegranates too. It's a good addition to some mixed drinks. I'd probably like wine made from them. :)

Its suppost to be really good for you. I have a small glass every day. I've actually wondered what the nutritional values are. Any idea? Only guess I'd have is vitamin C.

I have a Pomegranate tree in my backyard. I eat them with my LAWN MOWER LOL! If I had a tree I'd not be wasting them on a lawnmower!! :p :D or maybe they wouldn't be such a novel treat and I would afterall? :confused: :)

I have an un-green thumb and I live in Canada ... I'm thinking pomegranate trees can't grow here. :(
But it's likely I'll retain that info and spew it back out (if I'm ever asked about fertilizer) and I'll have no clue how I know that. :rolleyes: :D So uhh thanks ... I think? wink

Well, after reading this topic, I think Mrs BBT went out and picked them off of the tree because I now see a bunch of pomegranates in on the Kitchen counter :rolleyes:
I've never cared for pomegranates much. I don't have the patience for picking them seeds out of them. Other than that, I guess they are ok....... :)

just had to get this up with the other weird foods!

[FMluvswater]

Bump since Hoolign seems interested in whether I spit or swallow. :D

[HocusPocus]

i have a small pomegranate tree/bush.. only produces 1-2 a year. :) a frend of ours has a huge one and produces fruit the size of a softball.. he brings us baskets of them. i saw in stater bros they were asking $2.50 each!!!
anyway to get to your question.
i take two of them.. break'em apart and use a small fork to pick out all the fruit, once i have a large pile i eat'em up with a spoon. yummy!

Fork is a good way to prevent stained fingers, I suppose :idea: but if the fork slips and punctures the seeds doesn't it still squirt and make a mess? :confused:

[HocusPocus]

doesn't it still squirt and make a mess?
isn't that whats its suppose to do?

[MsDrmr]

I actually really like them, they are easy to eat, danty, and tart...I like them right off a fresh tree though, I don't buy them at the store.
