So I am peeling one and I get into the discussion with qntmken about how awesome they are and I would eat them all the time. He refuses to eat them because he claims that it is not worth eating. He says the return on investment is not sufficiently high.




thats bananas...b-a-n-a-n-a-s!

punchmonk is my favorite fruit

12/1/2008 1:33:58 PM

They are delicious.

12/1/2008 1:34:15 PM

i've never ate one, but their juice isn't bad

12/1/2008 1:36:05 PM

i generally don't eat fruit period unless it's ready to go in my mouth

12/1/2008 1:36:29 PM

lol NERD

Honestly, pomegranates are the shit and the rewarding burst of flavor in every bite makes the peeling process worth it.

12/1/2008 1:36:46 PM

imagine that

kiwi finds things busting in her mouth rewarding

12/1/2008 1:37:43 PM

I had some just the other day.

Lots of trouble, totally worth it.

12/1/2008 1:38:17 PM

He wouldn't think that if he knew that pomegranates are one of the healthiest foods out there.

(look up ORAC values of fruits/veggies on the interweb)

12/1/2008 2:10:43 PM

Busting pom seeds are the best. It's like a mini firework in your mouth. ahee

12/1/2008 2:15:37 PM

meh...i like them but they aren't the best thing for me, so none for me

Thx thou!

just drink dat 190% pomegranate juice then

12/1/2008 2:59:08 PM

Yeah the ROI on that is atrocious.

12/1/2008 2:59:11 PM

i tried this pomegranate

COMPLETELY WORTHLESS.
first off it doesnt even taste good, its expensive, hard to peel and eat
so whats the point?

12/1/2008 3:12:07 PM

^
It's a litmus test for whether or not people are picky, cheap, and lazy.

12/1/2008 3:15:14 PM

hahah, on the contrary, its proves i have good taste, frugal, and im not edward scissor hands

12/1/2008 3:39:32 PM

I don't like eating the white seed part. I used to spit those out, but that sucked, so now I just eat them and don't like it.

12/1/2008 3:43:24 PM

I like your attitude.

12/1/2008 3:44:53 PM

Maybe I'll give oranges another try.

12/1/2008 3:47:49 PM

I was thinking other things.

My relatives in Texas have pomegranates growing in their yard.
...too cold here.

12/1/2008 3:52:21 PM

its not too cold in north carolina. my mom has a pomegranate bush that had a few pomegranates on it this year. they were pretty sour though, definitely not a commercial cultivar. the fruits are smaller too.

Conisdering the ratio of ORAC value to time needed to eat, I would say the ROI is below average, but definitely not atrocious.

They make a really good flavor for Martinis

12/2/2008 9:42:32 AM

Holy double post batman

12/2/2008 9:44:08 AM

^I would like one of those.

12/2/2008 9:44:37 AM

I can clean them pretty quickly. They're a great return on investment if you don't suck at taking them apart.

12/2/2008 9:45:20 AM

Oprah has an incredible pomegranate martini on her website, my Mom sent it to me last year.

12/2/2008 9:45:47 AM

Oprah's doing drink recipes now?

12/2/2008 9:46:42 AM

Oprah does everything.

12/2/2008 9:47:27 AM

Here's the recipe:
# 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
# 2 ounces vodka or white tequila
# 1 ounce Orange Cointreau liquor
garnish with pomegranate seeds

12/2/2008 9:49:41 AM

I was hoping it would use pomegranate schnapps. I have a bottle of it that I opened and think I've only used once. I am sure google could help me out though.

[Edited on December 2, 2008 at 9:54 AM. Reason : plus it also has zero nutritional value!]

kinda hard to call him a boyfriend if you never have sex with the guy.
