What's your favorite berry?
Mine are raspberries. But I wanna hear about all kinds or routine and exotic berries (like the superberries from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia pyramid scheme)

Who's the rainbow guy, Indigo/purple?
Edit: I wish I was berry-y enough for the Berry Club :(

Shhh don't tell them! I'll have more competition while hunting!
(Btw I didn't know you guys had them too, do you have the white ones or the purple ones?)
Strawberries. Where I was a kid I looked like I had a constant rash but I was eating strawberries 24/7
Do they actually turn you red if excessively consumed (like carrots/carotene -> orange) or did you just need a good wash?
Fav berries in no particular order are raspberries, blackberries, cranberries and blueberries
Wild blueberries. I love frozen fruit in general (like a healthier version of popsicles), and wild blueberries are my favorite. They're smaller and way more flavorful than normal blueberries.
Some years ago at the tail end of summer in Romania, I went for a hike in the Carpathian mountains. It was something my ex fiance organised she knew I'd love the experience.
We eventually reached a mountain side camp site, and we ambled around in the clearing taking photos. We found this area covered in wild blueberry bushes, I grabbed a handful of tiny blueberries and tasted them. I've never tasted blueberries like that, they were amazing.
Thank you for reminding of a beautiful memory.
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!
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.
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?
Ikea sells cloudberry jam, or at least they used to a few years ago when we impulse bought it.
Ah, according to Wikipedia there are some few states where it grows:
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.
Imma need you to elaborate on that extremely provocative statement lol. Show your work, damn you
Goldenberry (gooseberry). It's like mango, passion fruit, pineapple all packed into a single berry.
Shoot am I the only one here from the Pacific Northwest USA? Our most invasive species is also the most delicious berry there is: Himalayan blackberry. Canβt be beat. Just had some blackberry jam today on a charcuterie plate
They are soooo delicious! Whenever I'm in the PacNW I try to find some to eat. Tho' it seems like the locals just treat them like a nuisance.
Blackberries and blueberries if I'm eating them straight-up. If its berry-flavor, like in a syrup or something, its boysenberry 100%
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.
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.
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 ;)
