I hear Alaskan cloudberries are wonderful … too bad I didn’t try any when I lived there! ---

My Alaskan husband, Chuck, is berry berry sick ☹ I have enjoyed all the chuck berry references, also the wine wine wine song … the Dope rocks 🙂 ---

I picked other - dewberries. They are similar to blackberries but smaller. They grow wild behind the building where I work and the bushes will start to produce soon. For six weeks or so, I’ll get to enjoy a handful for an afternoon snack. Very tasty! ---

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but those who didn’t select boysenberry failed the test. Representatives will be visiting you shortly; it’s best if you don’t struggle when they take you away. ---

> [@Ludovic](#): > > Other: black raspberries. Especially tarts made from fresh black raspberries. Yummy yum yum. I also prefer Buckcherry to Chuck Berry. This. Black raspberries are the bestest berry. Especially sprinkled with sugar and swimming in milk. I have no opinion on Buckcherry vs Chuck Berry. ---

Yep. Black raspberries are the greatest. They do not taste like blackberries or red raspberries. My great-grandfather always said red raspberries tasted like bedbugs smell. ---

Blueberries have become my latest favorite. What you can do with them is endless. I’ve made coffeecakes, streusel-topped muffins, scones, cream cheese/blueberry pies and cheesecakes, pancakes, waffles and stuffed French toast, ice cream topping and blueberry/rhubarb jam. They’re also good in oatmeal with brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon and with cottage cheese. Not tired of them yet. ---

I prefer raspberries, though I buy strawberries more often. It’s hard to get a pint of raspberries perfectly fresh, and even then I have to plan to eat them that day or the next at the very latest. They turn to mush so quickly. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-favorite-berries-multiple-choice/660146.md?page=2)
