My mum used to cut it in half, & use a pin or a tooth pick to get the little bits out.
Cut it in half along the equator, hold each half over a bowl and hit the outside hard with something like a rolling pin. If it is ripe, the seeds will fall out! Quicker, less messy and easier than the pin method. Thank Nigella for this, not me!
Snowy owl - you're supposed to eat the seeds.
I'd say pomegranates are less a foodstuff and more a hobbie...
can't believe i spelled hobby with an 'ie'. am shamed...
never mind missmoore...you were probably thinking of Holly Hobbie!! lol ;o)

Ethel, You are joking about Snowy Owl? Don't think for one minute SO was throwing them away, and eating the bitter pith!!
Pomegranates are lovely but messy....i used to love them as a child ....do yourself a favour and buy pomegranate juice instead !
Like Indian/Pakistani mangoes, pomegranates should be eaten in the bath.
The Snowy Owl's (via Nigella) method is the best. It saves endlessy picking out each seed with a pin as we did as kids.

Pomegrate (is that how it's spelt shanystar?) is the simplest though.
Cut open, use your hands to break the seeds into a bowl and just get stuck in...pomegranates are fiddly and messy things to eat, don't be gentle!
A friend of mine from Pakistan, seeing me wrestle with a pomegranate and a fork, said British people ate pomegranates in a wimpish way; he said the thing to do is just to smash it against a wall and get stuck into eating each half - quickly!
