Mirwais' Afghan Meal

This is the desert for Mirwais' Afghan meal--pomegranates. He says that the best pomegranates come from Kandahar. They are huge. He would squeeze the pomegranate to crush the fruit inside and then make a small incision so that you can drink the juice. Otherwise, they would cut the pomegranate in quarters (like in the lower right of the photo). I was picking the seeds out one-by-one when I noticed Mirwais biting into the quartered fruit and getting a mouthful of seeds at once. I tried this method and it was much more flavorful and successful.
