I'm with BM ~ lovely fruit to eat and it is the seeds and pulp surrounding them that you eat. Rather like Passion fruit.

Do you eat nuts? ~ They are seeds.
For example you only eat the inside of a Brazil nut ..... not the shell.

My Mum used to give me a cocktail stick to hook out the seeds ..... for safety I s'pose

You can at least get your teeth into nuts, and then have a damned good chomp.
These pomegranite things are too small, and taste like shite too. sick2:

I ate some once ..... very strong flavour. My only excuse is that I was in Belgium at the time and can't read Flemish. Should have waited until I reached the Dutch speaking bit I suppose as I can usually manage to find my way round a Dutch menu.

Sorry but I acted in ignorance. It was a stew/casserole "Dish of the Day". You know how they have a fixed price menu every day. Yes it came with chips but then in Belgium what doesn't?

Dutch friends explained it when I got to them..... they also laughed a lot but then the Dutch laugh at anything the Belgians do.

BTW in Dutch it would be something like "Het vlees van de ezel" which literally translates as "The flesh of the donkey" ..... I can't remember what it was in Flemish.

The Germanic derivatives are lots of fun:

Esel-ezel-ass

Indeed ~ I was stationed at Laarbruch for a while which is very close to the Dutch border and we did most of our drinking in Venlo (Holland)
Spent years going back for annual holidays in and around Venlo.

Favourite sport was watching German registered cars stopping for the drivers to seek directions from Dutch kids who, without fail, would send them the wrong way.
