It ain’t easy, but when you finally succeed in peeling an orange into only one big, swirly peel, it can be one of the greatest fruit-eating experiences of your life.

The pomegranate is possibly the most interesting of all fruits in the art world. There are many legends surrounding its origin. According to Greek mythology, it grew out of blood pouring from the wounded penis of Acdestis – a violent, promiscuous god whose genitals were tied up by Bacchus (more about him later). Apparently a nymph then ate the fruit and became pregnant as a result.
