Strange fruit

I've eaten fresh lychees, fresh jackfruit, star fruit, atis (cherimoya), and tamarind -- although not on a routine basis, to be sure. Now I'm eating a pomegranate for the first time. I've been digging out the seeds with a fork one by one -- guess I should have Googled for the proper technique before slicing the thing open.

I've had lychee (not really fresh, but either in jellies or cut up in bubble teas) and loved it, starfruit was good, and I LOVE pomegranate. For the latter, I don't know if I've ever learned a "right way" to eat it, but generally after forcing my way into the rind initially, I just kept tearing through it and picking the seeds out by hand.

*drools* Now I want one.
