Who's the rainbow guy, Indigo/purple?
Edit: I wish I was berry-y enough for the Berry Club :(
Put your text inside the brackets...like this:
Banana
Watermelon
Betchya can't eat just one?
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
Raspberry. Both the fruit and the computer.
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.
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!
Avocado. Definitely the best one.
Huckleberries.
Tayberry, it's like a better raspberry.
Or the Marionberry, the Tayberry's tart younger cousin
Blackberries and blueberries if I'm eating them straight-up. If its berry-flavor, like in a syrup or something, its boysenberry 100%
Coffee
Crunch
Goldenberry (gooseberry). It's like mango, passion fruit, pineapple all packed into a single berry.
Tomatoes
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 ;)
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
Huckleberries
+1 for huckleberries. Especially plucked off the bush in the middle of a PNW alpine hike.
Mint Berry Crunch
@cheese_greater @asklemmy Iβm a sucker for blueberries - theyβre currently in season. Either on their own or in something.
Barry Sanders
Probably strawberry
Kiwi.
Probably blueberries, fresh blueberries in pancakes, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, etc are so good
Dingle
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 ;)
Blackberries and blueberries over Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, yum
