    Apparently, you can open them in a bowl of water to make it a lot less messy.

      Can confirm that worked. Just opened our first pomegranate yesterday. Are you supposed to eat the seeds after sleeping of the juicy bits? Do you chew them or try to force them down?

        We grew them when I was a kid.

        Just eat the whole seed like it’s all the same, it’s easiest. Don’t only eat the juicy part and get left with the harder seed.

        However, there’s no problem with spitting out the harder seed if you really don’t like them, but that does add a little inconvenience to eating the fruit when you need to find a way to dispose of them without making a mess.

    Rally’s used to have a slogan that went, “If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face,” and I think that’s probably a life lesson in a similar vein.

      Little Pete: Moisty nap?

      Inspector 34: Not necessary.

      Ellen: Moisty naps…?

      Nona: You’re supposed to use your hands!

      Dad: It just tastes better that way.

      Little Pete: Barbeques are supposed to be messy. Eating perfectly…is imperfect. YOU FAIL!

        I reference relevant Pete & Pete bits every now and then, and I always get a look like I quoted some esoteric scripture from an alien planet.
