The Best Way to Eat a Pomgranate
I have made a study of this as we had a ton of the things to consume at the seaside. They are fast rising in my estimation as one of the finest fruits known to man.
The most satisfying way to consume one is above all, slowly. Almost like a ritual. Cut off the ends and slice the pomgranate in half. Have a bowl handy to catch the bits of shell and juice which is bound to drip.
The seeds are juicy and delicious. Savour. Take the time. Consume the seeds individually. Tease each one out with your teeth, gently so as not to crush it too soon. Roll it across the tongue as though it were a pearl.
Suck on the pulp of the seed and then crunch the stone with your teeth.
Close your eyes so you are not distracted from the taste.
Open eyes, pick new seed, repeat :) The process may take you a while but it is worth it.
