Yup. Pomegranates, a rare and somewhat fiddly treat when we were kids round Chapel Street way - everyone standing about with needles and red juice all down their shirts - a bit like crack addicts but different.These days, round our way, they're everywhere, and in such abundance that folk just let them drop off the trees.
Some facts.
Pomegranate in Spanish is granada, just like the city.
In French it's grenade, after which the explosive hand-thrown weapon is known because of its size and filling.
The drink grenadine which is used to make tequila sunrise is made from pommies.
In olden times it was used as a cure for tapeworm
How's that?
