@wicche happy that Strawberry picked up the pace here. I love all the berries, but strawberry is king
@Thomas I perpetually lean toward blackberry or raspberry because I love having some tang with the sweet, but ngl when I've got a perfect June strawberry right off the plant and it goes in my mouth it pretty much feels like meeting and fucking god

@Thomas put that same strawberry into the classic shortcake format, and I could pretty much just die happy while eating it

@jaredwhite @wicche we have dewberries in the south, which are blackberries grow in a briar tangle rather than on a neat little bush. Is their extra deliciousness an illusion caused by the extra effort required to gather them? Don't know, but they're the best imo

@jaredwhite I've always wanted to try one of those, they seem great
@wicche The jams/scones/muffins/etc. made with marrionberry are to *die for*

I actually have a tough time picking which one is the best, but I do know which one is the worst. Not sure anyone besides @infernusgoatus is aware of my opinion here though
@wicche @infernusgoatus Dying to hear about the worst berry, and whether it is California strawberries in December

@wicche the best raspberry is black raspberry! Easy to grow and once you taste a fresh one, you'll never go back to store-bought raspberries.

@funkula @jaredwhite we have dewberries up here too! In fact a bunch of them grow behind our house.
They are fucking great.

@beandreams @infernusgoatus okay, that's a good contender, but considering all four berries on their year-round merits the worst berry in the list is blueberry. Because I like a good tiny, almost sour blueberry, and when they're fresh off the bush all blueberries are also great, but they're the one berry that I cannot STAND cooked. The flavor transmutes in a totally unacceptable sickly-sweet way.

@arisummerland grew up with those outside my house, would forage them as a kid to make jam. They're an all timer

@wicche @jaredwhite hell yeah. My dad still cans dewberry jam every year and I always get some

@wicche @infernusgoatus Objectively correct.
When my brother-in-law was new to the family he mentioned that his favourite fruit was blueberries and apparently (according to my amused partner) my sister and I made horrified faces at him until he clarified, "you know, wild ones when you pick them in the woods". Close call

Select the best berry:
@wicche Saskatoon Berry (also known as Pacific serviceberry, western serviceberry, western shadbush, or western juneberry).
But in a pinch raspberries are awesome (and make a good crisp when combined with saskatoons and rhubarb)
