And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As someone who loves both of those fruits (and has grown both), I can say that the pomegranates are clearly not ripe yet...while the figs look extra sweet and perfect.
Ate a Dragon Fruit for the first time this morning. Cost $5 at Kroger. Didn't care for it. Tasted like a weak watermelon, almost no flavor at all. Same consistency as watermelon. White pulp with teeny black seeds.
Tropical fruits at N.A supers are picked hyper early and left to ripen in a box for weeks on end. They are NOTHING like picking them off the tree. I live in SA and I never really liked papaya until I moved here and grew my own. Amazingly different and super sweet. The GMO wienies are ruining food.
Grandmother had both growing in her back yard in Southwest Louisiana. I picked figs by the gallon for the family. If I could taste Mom's fig preserves one more time...
Pomegranates?

Sounds like you got a bad one. I've had dragon fruit flavored beverages, and they taste nothing like watermelon.
