broccoli and pomegranate

[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.

• i suspected as much, then googled b plus p and got this!!

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.

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.
