Are pomegranates the worse fruit ever .all that fiddling about?

I%26#039;d have to kind of agree. All that effort just for a bit of fruit. It tastes quite nice but for the work/taste ratio it%26#039;s a pretty poor fruit.

Are pomegranates the worse fruit ever .all that fiddling about?
I totally agree!! Pomegranates have got to be the worst!! All that faffing about getting it open and peeled, then there is the nit picking of the seeds, they dont particular taste nice, and they leave your mouth feeling dry!!! Maybe God was bored one day and thought he%26#039;d have a laugh!!! :o)
Reply:i read the other day that you actually scoop the contents out into a bowl of clean water and all the yummy bits come to the top and the yucky bits sink to the bottom. you scoop the seeds off the top and eat
Reply:Pomegranates may be quite a bit of work, but I feel so good after eating one that it%26#039;s worth the fight.
Reply:yes, rank right up there with persimmons..

Reply:I think they%26#039;re quite tasty! But, too much damn work!
Reply:If you can be bothered, they taste yummy.
Reply:Yes, pomegranates are one of the most fiddly fruit, they beat even mangos for fiddly and messy preparation.


However, the durian fruit is pretty terrible. It is a large and heavy fruit weighing several pounds and covered in large thorny spikes. You need a cleaver or hammer and chisel to open it and when you do you are faced with slimy flesh with a texture likened to a cow pat by some and custard by others. The smell is overpowering likened to gas or sewage - however people in malaysia consider it a delicacy with the flesh being described as %26#039;rich, with an almond-sweet flavor and puddinglike texture%26#039; People either love it or hate it but it%26#039;s a pain to transport and to prepare. I like it but it%26#039;s best sweetened and preserved - by somebody else!


The link below is amusing as it describes the lengths someone had to go through to try some durian fruit.
Reply:Yes -yes - yes! And now I%26#039;ve pricked myself with the pin trying to type simultaneously!!
