pomegrAnate

i looove these.

some people put a handful of seeds in their mouth and eat the whole thing. i think that kind of sucks.

i alternate between eating them individually (nibbling off the flesh and throwing away the inside) and putting a handful in my mouth, chewing it lightly until i've swallowed most of the flesh and juice, and spitting out the mass of whole seeds and whatever pulp didn't go down.

they're so pretty. like little juicy jewels.
 
i tried it like a grapefruit w/ spoon before slurping discreetly.

i was caught by the jewel aspect. i was hypnotized by the miniscule reflection of the blinds over the closest window within an individual pellet. then i ate the shit out of it.
 
the pomegranate chana masala actually wasn't. i used a Russian pomegranate marinade instead of pomegranate juice, and it was sugared, so the chana came out really, really sweet. oh well.
 
speaking of which, who is this british woman that has a cooking show?

i thought it was kind of funnily shot at first, but now i'm seeing that they film it like porn. in fact, i am a little creeped out, not entirely, because i see food as a sexual thing for most people, but a little creeped... a little creeped.

i made pomegranate chicken once, and also pomegranate chana masala!
Pomegranate and/or orange glaze on baked cornish hens is heavenly (but it's a high maintenance meal, needs basting every 10 minutes or less).
