Pomegranates Goldfinch Pudding

This may sound like a stupid question but…
Is anyone else finding the pomegranates really bitter this year?
I've had about three, one was inedible (even Fester twisted his face at it) and the others I had to make a reall effort to finish.
StBernard  I get the prepared pomegranate from Morrisons for my lunch and they've been fine though I have noticed the segments are bigger than in the past which is good (is that a seasonal thing?)
Hagrid  I've NEVER eaten one! My mum gave me one when I was a kid... With a cocktail stick??! I thought it was some kind of cruel joke 😉
HGB  I dunno what they are..😔
Bentonbag  Exotic fruit available October/November (always got them for my sister's birthday), hard yellow/red skin which you slice with a knife with lots of little black seeds inside with pink translucent flesh around them.  Used to be sweet and juicy but the ones I've had this year have been dark red inside, not particularly juicy, big pips and quite bitter.  You can eat them with a pin but I prefer to slice them open and suck the seeds off.

Opened the curtains to see goldfinches on the teasles: it's worth letting them grow.

It being Stir Up Sunday we have stirred up the Xmas pudding using half the fruit that's been steeping in booze since Tuesday.  The other half has had the drained off booze poured onto it and will continue steeping until cake making day.  Himself did all the measuring under my instruction as I sat on kitchen stool. 
Later 
Bentonbag  Two and a half puddings now steaming in the jam pan.
Mrs Elplates  I need to get out the mixing bowl and get my pudding made. Thanks for the reminder
