As you might know, grenadine is made from pom's:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenadine
I've put it in beer before (because I'm not that crazy about beer--
except maybe for sake) and just found out from the article that it's
actually a drink drunk.

I tried a grenadine juice once and disliked it, but maybe it was just
the particular brand. I see the Pom brand over here as well and maybe
I'll give it a try again... You try it first and get back to me.

I've eated pom's as a kid, but was never really crazy about them.

But have you ever had a starfruit? I had one a some time ago, and if
recalled, they were surprisingly nice.

Not too long ago, just for the *hell* of it, I tried either a durian or
a jackfruit and got fairly ill from it-- apparently from its
naturally-occuring latex, which I'm allergic to!
It also made a mess on the counter that was unusually hard to clean!

Starfruit = Carambola
I think they are from Viet Nam.
We used to have several trees of them.
Never cared that much for them.
They look sort of like a partially deflated yellow football.
Citrusey taste, like acid and more tough husk than tender meat but they
explode nicely when run over with the mower.

As kid's we developed a passion for crabapples,
little hard sour red-purply about an inch dia.
Being brats we'd leave the house without breakfast,
and bike and sort of forge, we even formed a "Fruit-
Veg" Club, meaning no breakfast or home lunch.
We'd even stick our ears to the stomachs to hear
if they we're digesting, so as not to be a cheater.

It's amazing what you'll eat when you're hungry.
Lunchin' under a shady crabapple tree on a warm
sunny summer day, with a sweat from exersize,
that was the life, no line-ups no cash-registers,
just gossiping about Mickey Mantle and whatever.

Oh, starfruit, they're exquisite. Like a mix of citrus, with a blend of a
sort of strawberry-banana hint, maybe a slight hint of some lime -
yummmmmmm. I'm trying to root some seeds, dunno whether they'll grow in
Texas, I have to look into it. I certainly hope so!

The best I've had were grown in Israel.
