Pomegranates

[Claw]

Pomegranates, what on earth are they supposed to taste like? A friend gave me loads of fruit as a gift, and amongst it all were two pomegranates. It was a completely tasteless experience.

So, is there a special preparation for them or something, or are you just supposed to eat the seeds and enjoy something about them?

[Tumble]

It's the seeds wot you eat... the "tasty" bit is the fleshy capsule the seeds sit in within the flesh of the fruit itself. I've only ever had a half of one, and I wasn't especially fussed about it. I'd rather have an apple.

[Clingy]

The fleshy coating to the seed should be really sweet. They are a fuss but a lovely flavour when ripe. Trouble is like most of our fruit nowadays, it's bred for appearance and long life rather than taste.
