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 :(

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

[–] cheese_greater 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Fav berries in no particular order are raspberries, blackberries, cranberries and blueberries

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Banana. Heard they're botabically berries.

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.

Raspberry. Both the fruit and the computer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (6 children)

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!

Huckleberries.

[–] Anamnesis 5 points 11 months ago

Avocado. Definitely the best one.

[–] feedum_sneedson 5 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Tayberry, it's like a better raspberry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Or the Marionberry, the Tayberry's tart younger cousin

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. Can’t be beat. Just had some blackberry jam today on a charcuterie plate

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

[–] LilBiFurious 4 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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 ;)

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 3 points 11 months ago

Probably strawberry

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] TheLonelyWonderer 2 points 11 months ago
[–] JJROKCZ 2 points 11 months ago (6 children)

Probably blueberries, fresh blueberries in pancakes, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, etc are so good

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

Edit: also, smile while eating ;)

[–] jBlight 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
