Nope

It's pomegranate season (yay) and I have a few I bought that I'm keeping in the fridge until the next time I get groceries and another one or two (depending on price and feel).

I pulled one out of the fridge earlier to crack open and when I picked it up there was a soft spot.  This is not good but I figured I'd just avoid that side and area and so I cracked the thing open and started getting the seed things (maybe arils but there is some controversy around this term apparently!) and I noticed that some of the stems in a not soft area were black instead of the normal cream.... hmmm....

I tasted a couple.  They weren't quite right.  I kept working on it.  More black stems.... double hmmm....

In the end I decided it wasn't worth the risk of potentially eating something that had gone off/bad and getting maybe sick or feeling unwell or upsetting my stomach.  If just that area of softness had been weird I might have kept the rest but finding "off/odd" ones in other parts just made me feel like the whole fruit wasn't worth the risk.  Oh well.  Such is the delight and slight risk of eating fruit that was picked who knows when and imported from who knows where how long ago.  

I opened another so I'm good to go for a bit but that was an interesting, and slightly unsettling reminder to check your produce not just when you buy it but when you go to use it.  (That one might have been sitting in my fridge for a couple of weeks but still should have been good.)
