[stainesmassif]

I have a lot of broccoli that needs using up. and 3 pomegranates. AIBU to consider offering a mix of the two for ds's lunch today??

YANBU to consider it but YABU if you expect them to eat it.

There's a 'recipe' in a Jamie book where you put pomegranate seeds in a glass and pour ice-cold gin over them - maybe save the pomegranate for later and do that?

Could you make some soup out of the broccoli and give them a pomegranite and a pin each. Two hours of silence as they try to pick each seed out.

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Just out of interest, how would you remove the seeds? my mum used to buy them for us, give us a pin and sit us down to finish them. She told me and my sister that horses die if they eat the seeds. I wonder how that affects children.
She is slightly puddled sometimes.

Phew, I thought we were in Baby Names for a mo. Not sure about Broccoli, but Pomegranate is lovely

Broccoli is good at bulking stuff out, I don't know what you're making for dinner?

Blimey, 3 pomegranates! How very extravagant!
I agree with Kathy, make a pomegranate collins and following copious glassfuls of the stuff attempt to do something with the broccolli - even if its a bizarre dance in the buff. The kids will just want to hide in embarrassment.
In fact I'm off to get some pomegranates and broccoli right now.....

I sent the dcs with Pomegranate for brealk this morning!

I love brocolis juste steamed with a knob of butter on [yum yum]

Broccoli soup, then pomegrantate gin and MN for you and needles with the other two pomegranate for the boys.

Sounds like a good afternoon.
