[QUOTE="TeddyTottie, post: 2275515, member: 519030"] Mmmmm gooseberries and rhubarb.... they are delicious, sharp and tannic and floral and scented and soooo tasty. I always wonder at folk that eat tasteless off-season strawberries from far-flung places and turn their noses up at these traditional treasures. Why would you? And don’t get me started on blueberries, although I have found that the frozen ones do have more flavour than the fresh. But I come from the north of England and grew up going out to the hills and picking what you may know as bilberries, but in the Manchester area were most definitely wimberries (which I think is a corruption of whinberry - whin is dialect for hard stone, and they grow on the millstone grit moorlands). Anyway, these are wild cousins of blueberries (different species but related) and are everything that a blueberry wants to be but just.... can’t. They are the most amazing fruit (but never sweet enough for eating raw!) Not had them for years and years, I live down south now. But I have got into growing veg this year and I have discovered that you can buy plants.... :cat: [/QUOTE]
