The pomegranate is not a well-known fruit in New York City?

can't say that I've ever seen it in a mainstream grocery store around here, though they probably have them in ethnic markets.

They have them here in Florida here at Albertson's and Kash n Karry.

Also known as a Chinese Apple. Used to eat them as a child. Havent had one in many years and I think I may have to grab one next time Im at the store.

Its not a chinese fruit though. Its all over asia.

By that same token, the Chinese Gooseberry isn't really a chinese fruit either, but that's the original name of the kiwi fruit...

The have them in NYC at Stop n Shop & Pioneer, plus all the usual corner fruit stores/stands. $1 a piece is a good price for a big one. Alot of times you see them 2/$5 or $3 a pop for small ones.

Anyone remember watching Conan the Barbarian cartoon? Rarrrw, pomegranate, rarrrrww!

Hard? Cut it to 4 pieces, put your thumbs on the two corners, use the 2 middle fingers to push in, and it'll open up most of the seeds.

Gaggingrunt means you have to do more than pull a tab.

ROFL! you can't fool me! That's a Pomegranate if ever I've seen one.

That's weird, you can usually find them at any Gristedes, etc. However, they are seasonal; it may be getting late in the season so there are less available.

Did you go to Fairway?

My neighbor has a pom tree in his front yard, and can't give the dammed things away...so, many just rot on the tree/on the ground.

I don't know about it being to food of the gods, as one poster suggested, but I do know that the fruit was well known to the ancient Israelites, and that the Temple had quite a few of them carved into the walls. I've only tried one, which I liked, but I thought it would have been better just as a juice.

Here is a pomegranate juice that would be interesting:

[dighn]

they are nice to look at but not so nice to eat. I mean you get what, a drop of juice and no flesh from each "seed"!?

I thought this thread would be about Papaw's.
