Gooseberries are super popular in Sweden, they're in every other garden.

I think the US dislikes them because it's an invasive species.

Illegal where I live because pine barrens
: (
>>21615871
Kinda kinda kinda kinda like kiwifruit.
>>
>>21615875
Nah, it's because they can carry some disease that would kill pine forests. Same reason currants are banned
I'm from yurp and live in America, where the only form of both I can get is jam and occasionally frozen, though even frozen is illegal. My wife needs frozen currant for Christmas cakes

>>21615878
What this anon said but also but nothing like a kiwi. Think of a kiwi, then think of a not kiwi - that's what a gooseberry tastes like
>>
I don't even know what this is
>>
>>21615912
It's like green-tomato-y not-kiwi with the texture of a grape.

>>21615916
Back to your fast food threads, little zoomy
>>
>>21615933
fuck off

>>21615916
It's like a McDouble, only less Macky and less doubly
>>
>>21615933
>>21615968
show me something you cooked,faggots
>>
>>21615970
Not them, but lots of the stuff from https://warosu.org/ck/thread/21009561#p21028755 downwards. It's morning fancy, just simple, good food.
I don't post my stuff anymore because it tends to go ignored. I expect many other people who actually cook feel the same way.
>>
>>21615970
I'd show you my gooseberry crumble but you wouldn't know what the fuck it was

They're all used for making gooseberry fools.

I feel like that, I've never made a thread that wasnt something I cooked,

I just dont know what gooseberry is.
>>
>>21615989
>morning fancy
lmao
My autocorrect always thinks I mean morning when I mean nothing and I don't know why. Because of that, I instantly understood what this meant and yeah, /ck/ has a strong bucket-crabs culture. Anyone who can cook is derided as "oh, you think you're better than me?!?!" and dragged right down into the bucket with the other crabby crabs.
Tired of that bullshit, people just stopped posting.

Sour-ish (sometimes sweet) ribes from yurp. Currants are another ribes species. Cape "gooseberry" and Indian "gooseberry" aren't gooseberries, btw, so if you ever come across either at the Piggly Wiggly, they're something else entirely.
Ribes are illegal in coastal America and anywhere else in America with extensive pine forestry because >>21615880

>>21615857
they're called gooseberries because they make you shit like a goose
>>
>>21615878
Acidic crunchy kiwi would be accurate.

>>21616777
You're a fucking idiot

>>21616482
Everything does that to you, except your regular dose of soylent. You shouldn't be on this board.

There's a couple spots on my property where they grow wild, but they're sierra gooseberries (pic related) and are almost more bother than they're worth.
>>
>>21615880
idk where you live but I can grow any ribes I want and I can even buy them off Amazon (Pennsylvania). I can even buy a currant plant off Amazon.

>>21616820
We're neighbours. I'm in New Castle county, Delaware. Very illegal here. I think it's legal in the southernmost county in DE, but not up here. There's literally a pine forest outside my front door.

For me its ghostberries

I love goosberries, but they have a short shelf life and aren't something most people eat out of hand so they aren't economically viable to grow now that the market is so small. But if you like them, they are very weedy and you can pretty quickly turn a handful of cuttings or even seeds into a big bush.

I would agree actually. Up here we have a cold hardy variety of kiwi that makes fruit about the size of a grape and a ripe goosberry is pretty similar. It's obviously more accurate to describe it like a large, mild currant but these days far more people are familiar with fresh kiwi as they are fresh fruit of any ribe variety.

It's a sad tale, I spent years nurturing a kiwi vine and by the time it had finally started producing large amounts of fruit I had developed a kiwi allergy (I suspect from eating too many skins) and can't enjoy them after all this time.
