@cheese_greater @asklemmy I’m a sucker for blueberries - they’re currently in season. Either on their own or in something.

TootSweet,

I’m probably the weird one here, but I love cranberries. But not in cranberry sauce or anything. I have them in parfaits or pancakes/waffles mostly. But I frequently eat a few just plain without anything on them while I’m cooking.

I’m sensitive to sugar, so anything with more sugar in it makes me ill. But cranberries are perfect and tasty. I love the intense tang of them.

cheese_greater,

I would enjoy swimming thru an ocean of them

cheese_greater,

Black currant

Thanks for clearing that up, lickety-split 🤣

Sir_Premiumhengst,

Tomatoes

cheese_greater,

Not gonna lie, maybe my second fave if we’re getting technical. But cheese_greater HATES bananas. I’m bananas enough, ain’t nobody got time for more of the same.

Rivalarrival,

If you’re going to go with botanical definitions instead of culinary, then tomatoes would jump to the top of your list: raspberries are not actually berries; they are an aggregate fruit.

cheese_greater, (edited )

I’m realize I’m straddling the line ;) Hence the bananas thing. We’re being pretty relaxed in this thread, if the discussion is purely limited to botanical berries, its going to be a fairly inaccessible or banal discussion compared to what is admissible in this thread :) Lets have some fun with it, eh?

Edit: for the purposes of this threaf and in the [paraphrased/adapted] words of the US Supreme Court, its a berry if I say it is ;)

Must be edible. Im making that a rule aha

Edit: in the alternative, what do you like about the taste so much?

Edit: also, smile while eating ;)

jBlight,

Not my cup of tea… But it’s technically edible haha

cheese_greater,

Rubus chamaemorus or cloud berry. I had it when we stayed over night in the northern Swedish mountain and it’s sweet, fruity, soft and creamy at the same time. Heaven in your mouth!

cheese_greater,

Is it available in NA anywhere?

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Not sure what NA is, but it’s difficult to get and only grows in the northern parts of our planet:

On top of it each plant only has one berry.

cheese_greater,

Like, can you buy it in North America likely? I wanna try this now.

What berry would you compare it closest to in terms of taste/experience?

jeena,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Ah, according to Wikipedia there are some few states where it grows:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b1/Rubus_chamaemorus_in_the_USA.svg

But not sure if you can buy it there. It’s normally not cultivated but just a wild plant.

Experience I’d describe like very soft blackberry but creamy and with honey taste in it.

cheese_greater,

Very cool, obscure. Thanks!

yenahmik,

Ikea sells cloudberry jam, or at least they used to a few years ago when we impulse bought it.

Zoldyck,

Watermelon

cheese_greater,

Betchya can’t eat just one?

OrteilGenou,

Blackberries and blueberries over Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, yum

cheese_greater,

You ever try simply adding just a peach slice(s) for natural sweetness?

Pulpogarden,

Huckleberries

Philote,

+1 for huckleberries. Especially plucked off the bush in the middle of a PNW alpine hike.

Strawberries. Where I was a kid I looked like I had a constant rash but I was eating strawberries 24/7

cheese_greater,

Do they actually turn you red if excessively consumed (like carrots/carotene -> orange) or did you just need a good wash?
