How to properly open a #pomegranate
@stux I knew there was a better way 😜
@stux I thought the proper way was to bash the shit out of it until you, your kitchen and the cat were covered in little popping seeds of sweetness?
@Quokka @stux preferably on top of a white carpet?

@Quokka That's my method. How did you know? 😹

@stux

@stux Wow! that looks soooo yummy
@stux
Why is this so dang satisfying?
@stux I could watch that on repeat for hours πŸ™‚
@stux what dark voodoo magic is this?!? 🀣
@stux that's not a normal knife. that's got a curved blade. #πŸ€”
@stux i forget what they are technically called but i've seen them called "electrician's knifes" because they're great for cutting into the insulation of thick cables. #πŸ€”
@stux ok but why when *I* try this do I end up sticky everywhere and looking like an extra from an 80s slasher flick?
@thecityinspeech @stux That's what I am saying. That's what I try to do, but it never looks that pretty and perfect.
@stux oddly satisfying to watch
@stux
I am going to try this. I tried a few other ways that didn’t work so well like beating them with a wood spoon, it ruined my pomegranate πŸ˜‚
@Deejae @stux this video was so satisfying to watch! But yeah only other time I’ve seen it done was Nigella spanking it with a wooden spoon and of course she did it perfectly and made it just rain little seeds down throughout her salad.
@stux Dang, you learn something new everyday!

I love it, but 99% of people who already don't know how to cut/prepare a pomegranate are likely going to suffer an embarrassing defeat if they try this method.

We need a mastodon method that doesn't make me go  

@stux thanks for sharing this. My wife just picked some up at the store yesterday. #tips
@stux Awesome, I never realized that there was such a straight forward way to do that πŸ˜…
@stux I want to watch this video over and over forever and ever.
@stux That's the way. My wife heard about it and tried it last week. We have been doing basic primate attacks for years.
@stux pomegranates always seem like they're gonna taste good but in the end i regret getting them
@stux this absolutely works! I tried it last week and it’s so much better than any other method I tried
@stux This has literally changed my life
@stux incredible, wanna try that 
@stux huh, you cut it hexagonally

@stux I had a high school teacher once who demonstrated the "correct" way to consume a pomegranate.

He began by rolling it around on his podium with his hands, pressing into it, destroying the insides, eventually declaring it "ready" and stabbing it with a sharp 2B pencil and then sucking the juice out of it.

I later learned he performed this stunt every school year for each new batch of students as if it was a spontaneous act

@stux is this the real fruit of pomodoro logo?
@stux life-changing. Not even joking. The small child eats so many pomegranates and I've been destroying then in opening.
@stux une Γ©nigme de 40 ans enfin rΓ©solue !
@stux You learn something new every day.
@stux, it takes a lot of practice. I'm still far from the level shown in the video.
@stux this is so oddly satisfying.
@stux made my SM day πŸ€—πŸ‘
@stux Wow! I never knew this.
@stux I have two sitting on my counter so maybe this work work on ONE of them πŸ˜‚
@stux Mystery solved. Thanks it looks easier than the way I have been doing it.
@stux I just tried it and it works perfectly! Now eating pomegranates is even more satisfying! πŸ˜‹
@stux - can’t believe how many times I just watched this!!! So satisfying!
