Does anybody know how to peel a pomegranate? My kitchen looks like I just slaughtered a beagle.

I think you SLICE it in half and pluck out the little seeds. I’ve seen my neighbor do it and he ends up with a nice little pile on a plate that we all share.
I always eat them outside with a paper towel on hand.
First, go out back and put on some latex gloves. Then, find a butcher’s oilcoth apron. Make sure you are wearing a raincoat and your old painting pants and those shoes you wear when you go to the river. Don’t forget your eyewear: Chemistry Class goggles should work just fine.
Now, begin with quartering the pomegranate with a sharp knife. Try to gently ease the seedpods out of their husk by bending the quarters slightly and gently rolling them out of the pith. Dispose of the pith. Eat seeds one at a time, squishing juicy goodness between your teeth and spitting the seed pits into the garden. Eventually you’ll grow bored and the garden will be littered with pith and seed pits and your chin and face will be stained all bloody red and you’ll decide to NEVER EAT ANOTHER POMEGRANATE EVER!!! At least your hands and clothes won’t be stained red.
2 words: pomegranate juice.
The answser to your question is no. No one does.
Oddlly enough, I found you via Upcoming. I still havent’ figured out what THAT is truly good for, but I have enjoyed your blog…probably come back…probably blogroll ya’.
last time i peeled a pomegranate, we convinced one of the teenage guests that the seeds were caviar, and that the “fact” that caviar was fish eggs was just an old wives’ tale.
