Pomegranates

Bargain_Rzl

Curry Queen, there's an Indian restaurant in Covent Garden (havent eaten there for about 2 years) that does a yummy "chef's special" dry curry with pomegranate seeds. Can't think what the meat is - might be duck...

Oops - I suppose that means I'll have to eat there again sometime soon to work out what's in it

I think duck would probably work very well with pomegranate actually :think: ... thanks!


... and yes, you must go eat there again and report back what is in the recipe

Oh good, another who due to insomnia and MSE addiction is up at this ridiculous hour of the night

Will make an effort to go back there soon and will let you know if the yummy pomegranate thing is still on the menu.

I am sure all readers here are aware that the cost of Pomegreat pomegranate juice drink (1litre) £1.39 is significantly more expensive that Ocean Spray cranberry classic (1litre) 95p and other juice drinks. While for the majority of buyers making a decision to purchase one or other will be based on taste preferences for others the rumoured or actual health giving properites natural products contain are relevant when making a purchase and deciding if that item is value for money. Providing the conclusions of published research which substantiates or disproves these claims enables those readers who need to make a choice to be more confident that they are not being ripped off. There is a difference between answering a specific medical questions with anecdotal evidence and providing up to date scientific knowledge to inform the general public.
I am sure many readers were previously as unaware of the nutritional value of Pomegrates as I was. I will edit my previous posts to enable other readers to see where the conclusions posted arose from so,they can distinguish what may appear comment or advice from proven fact.

It appears some people haven't read the board rules they refer to which specifically says This board is a discussion of all issues surrounding health, diet, nutrition and how they relate to MoneySaving. In order to make an informed decision the reader needs to be fully aware of the factual basis for any claims relating to that item. Hopefully those who have removed posts will replace them when they have understood the subtle difference between the words advice and information.

I love pomegranates and have been spending £1.35 each :eek: for the last few weeks on them.
Hubby went to Mr T's last night and got 15 yellow stickered ones for 10p each :T but what on earth am i going to do with 15 of them? I usually only eat one or two a week and need to use these up before they start to turn yucky and sour.

I really have no idea where to start or even whether to use them in sweet or savoury dishes!

Any ideas oh godly ones?

I had a lovely dish in India last year. Cubes of potato cooked with what tasted like cumin, coriander seeds, turmeric, onion, mixed in with a generous handful or pomegranate seeds at the end. Lovely. Made spuds into a luxury item!

I'm sure I've had a cocktail recipe including these at some point. I'll have a root around, and you could google in the meantime I can't think of a better way to enjoy them!
