@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.
@arisummerland grew up with those outside my house, would forage them as a kid to make jam. They're an all timer
-
@funkula @jaredwhite we have dewberries up here too! In fact a bunch of them grow behind our house.
They are fucking great.
@wicche @jaredwhite hell yeah. My dad still cans dewberry jam every year and I always get some
-
@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.
@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

@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)

@Chigaze @wicche @Tattooed_Mummy +1 for Saskatoons. So many core childhood memories picking them.
Also, Huckleberries are another excellent berry.

Select the best berry:
The problem here is that any of these is better than the other three when it's straight off the plant if they're not. I did manage to vote for blackberries because I've eaten more of those fresh than the others, but raspberries off the bush in the Shenandoah Valley in the summer are just perfect as well.

Especially the wild strawberry: small, close to the ground and packing more flavour than is possible.
