Round Six: Pomegranates!

Who knows where they come from? Who knows how long they'll last? The US pomegranate season is a delicate and fragile time. Some years, they don't show up at all. They are one of the few fruits that you can't get year round in the US. And I happen to like them very much. Here's a picture of the first pomegranate I ate in Chicago. You must agree that it is a fine specimen, unlikely to be matched by those found in Beijing.
