    Also applies to peeling/cutting exotic fruits. Like, how do you even open a pomegranate without making your kitchen look like it came straight out of a horror movie? Turns out, there are several ways.

      Ooh, I might have to investigate that. I love pomegranate, but I never buy them because it’s just so much work. If there’s a quick and easy way to get to the good stuff, I might have to revise my strategy.

        It’s a whole rabbit hole of tutorial videos. Try all the different methods to see what you like. I think the “restaurant style” might be your thing though. It involves doing the whole thing in a bowl of water.

        I had actual pomegranate juice from the side of the road, from a literal four sticks and a tarp set up with a hand cranked, 100 year old looking juicing contraption. The man selling was weatherbeaten and old as fuck, but when I had my drink and the I have seen the light look on my face from tasting proper, real pomegranate juice for the first time, he chuckled and told me he sees that face very often.
