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

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

[–] nayminlwin@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Banana. Heard they're botabically berries.

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

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Raspberry. Both the fruit and the computer.

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

Glad that resonates with another soul, I always feel like I'm just "weird"

Avocado. Definitely the best one.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 5 points 10 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.

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Goldenberry (gooseberry). It's like mango, passion fruit, pineapple all packed into a single berry.

What would you compare it to, closest?

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

[–] LilBiFurious@lemmy.world 4 points 10 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%

[–] NataliePortland@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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@lemmy.today 3 points 10 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@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 ;)

Mint Berry Crunch

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Barry Sanders

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Probably strawberry

[–] ed@battleangels.net 3 points 10 months ago

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

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@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not my cup of tea... But it's technically edible haha

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