Stupid Foods

Stupid Foods. - Okay, I know this is scraping the rancid bottom of the thread barrel, but I came home today with a nice pair of pomegranates. An impulse buy, after seeing them looking all rosy and plump in the greengrocer's display. - I've vague memories of eating one as a kid, but I honestly couldn't remember the flavour and thought they were cheap enough to sample again.......

What an absolutely stupid food the pomegranate is!! - This was a fruit never meant to be eaten. - I fought and I prodded and I bashed and all I ended up with was a small handful of tasteless, bullet-like seeds and more juice over my nice white work shirt than I could probably ever remove by even soaking it in bleach. Never judge a book by its cover, and never judge a fruit by its rosy complexion! So my entry is........

POMEGRANATE = STUPID FOOD

What's yours?............

Burton's Wagon Wheels. After a childhood spent salivating over their adverts the reality ( a few years ago) was totally and utterly disappointing. Absolute garbage.

Dragon fruit. Look absolutely amazing but a total triumph of style over substance. No taste whatsoever!

Even cardboard covered in chocolate tastes less like cardboard than Burton's Wagon Wheels. - Real wheels from a wagon are more tasty.

That's why I now stick to Pomegranate juice. I had a similar experience with the fruit itself, lol!


Not sure if this is a stupid food or I am just stupid for liking it so much, but POPCORN! Really, with all the scientists in the world, one would think by now they would have developed a hybrid popcorn that doesn't get hulls stuck in your teeth!

When you have a cold, and your nose is blocked, and you know that you can only breathe through your mouth, why do you still go for flaky pastry (Hit the Greggs!) or biscuits or cream crackers! You know at some point you will breathe in at the wrong moment and choke, cough & splutter. I guess this is more of a stupid decision than a stupid food. But if at the same time, you have a snotty sneeze, as I did last winter one day at work, you pebble dash your desk and computer at work!

Thanks for the info mate, but after the other night's experience, I really couldn't be bothered. I'll buy a carton of juice instead.

I disagree, and refer to poster to my comments above on "Dragon Fruit".

Also, what is the point of a fruit that requires its own Haynes manual?!

Besides - Pommy Granite is a decorative igneous rock used in Australia by colonials longing for their historical lithographic legacy, isn't it?
