They sell little punnets of pips in Sainsburys - MUCH easierOriginally posted by MaryPoppins View PostYou put SUGAR on MELON?
Ah, that's how you spell it - thanks. Apparently the pips are the point of the pomegranate.
That fat tongued vagrant Jamie Oliver slices them down the middle and gives them a tap - hey presto you've got all the pips out to eat.
Yeah, sure Jamie.
You actually end up covered in juice and flesh, with the majority of pips remaining in the bloody fruit for you to dig out painstakingly.

How can a pear taste of jizz?
I never thought it had much of a taste, mind you I'm usually so pissed by that point It could taste of Stilton sandwiches and I wouldn't notice
MMmm all of a sudden i have a craving for creme caramel...

I had a pink grapefruit every day last week with my brekkie. Messy but nice.

You put SUGAR on MELON?Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostTwo grapefruit in total on two separate nights. One per night.
No, I didn't add sugar. I'm still emotionally wounded from being ridiculed for putting sugar on melons. Apparently they are 'sweet enough'.
I haven't had a pomegranate since I was a kid, apart from a faint recollection of having tried one more recently. All pips IIRC.

Two grapefruit in total on two separate nights. One per night.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostOr - two over two nights? Not one between two evenings?
Why do I care so much?
I've partaken of the odd half grapefruit in my day, and its the mess element I don't like. I don't like faffy foods actually. Did you add sugar?
I attempted a pomegranite (sp?) at my desk once. That ended messily.

Or - two over two nights? Not one between two evenings?Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostA whole one, on two separate evenings. Sorry about the confusion. They make a bit of a mess too I might add, even when you're trying to scrape out the last remaining bits attached to the shell. So don't eat one when sitting next to your computer or anything that will be stained by acids. Best is to prepare it first in the kitchen IMO. I cut one in half and then run a knife all around the outside of one half and use a spoon to tease out most of it. Then I slice up what I have retrieved into parts small enough not to ejaculate all over any nearby furniture when eating.

Can you provide some clarity around that statement?Originally posted by TimberWolf View Postalthough it ended up that I ate a whole one in the evening, twice.

Full of all sorts apparently, including antioxidants. I bought two last week with the intention of having a half with breakfast, although it ended up that I ate a whole one in the evening, twice. Now I've bought two more. Exciting eh, I bet you're glad you asked. Did you hear Eric Olthwaite's got a new coal shovel? It's got a brass handle...Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostYou're just eating them today, or ongoing?
They're meant to be good for your metabolism. Or something.

You're just eating them today, or ongoing?Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostI've started eating grapefruits (only two so far). There is no sexual innuendo present in this post btw, so stop reading now if that's what you are here for. I've almost finished anyway. Apparently they are full of all kinds of goodies, and they get the juices flowing (see above). A bit like lemons ,only less harsh, and much bigger.
