It makes for a great marketing case study: how not to position a product or, better still, how to position a product for failure! <BR/><BR/>I held my hand under cold water for what seemed like hours and it still throbbed. The best medicine was of course the TLC I got after being admonished for 'wasting my time in the kitchen.' I'll take both of those in extra-large doses, thank you! Just tell me who's making dinner instead!</EM> :-DIndian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-42295818378401920762007-10-23T17:53:00.000-06:002007-10-23T17:53:00.000-06:00Kitchen Scientist, welcome to IFR!

In my family, it was just my mother and I who loved them- split in half, sprinkled with a bit of sugar as they were always a bit tart (grapefruit had a similar reception: my father and sis detested them) But yeah, now...now I don't know anyone who hasn't at least tried one- or had the juice.

This is the first I saw of them in Colorado and these are Californian poms. Yes, I know! All that way and global warming and all that. But if I paid heed to that, I would eat next to nothing! The growing season is very short in Colorado. If everything that is not perennial didn't die last night, then it will die tonight.</EM>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-72259187937535364722007-10-22T23:07:00.000-06:002007-10-22T23:07:00.000-06:00Meditation is good...makes you calm, and less like...Meditation is good...makes you calm, and less likely to be provoked to throw rocks at people<BR/><BR/>Beautiful rubies...when is it pomegranate season in Delhi,I forget...must be right now?Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-13451084028917610482007-10-22T22:15:00.000-06:002007-10-22T22:15:00.000-06:00I don't know why you complain, Bee!

Yes, that's what the little brochure from POM that came with the fruit also says. As does the link from my post. <BR/><BR/>However, I seem to have perfected my method as I have very little splatter or stains. I also don't like to chop off the ends as I lose precious juicy arils. I like the way I do it as I lose very few arils and if done gently, can almost be a meditative experience. (Ouch! Who threw that rock at me?!)<BR/><BR/>Welcome to IFR!</EM>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-5257641428982079882007-10-22T21:53:00.000-06:002007-10-22T21:53:00.000-06:00I forgot.

I usually used to open it the way you do and end up having splatters and stains. <BR/>OK., The best way is to slice out the top an bottom and gently make a couple of lines in the side without going through to the red fruit inside. Now in a big vessel dip the pomaganate completely and open it up in the water. The peels and the yellow things float on the top . strain it and all that you are left with is the red fruit down below.Parulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607614240956370090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-26701724432712486752007-10-22T20:25:00.000-06:002007-10-22T20:25:00.000-06:00Such a lovely pic.I loved the third pic.
