Berry berry gooseberry

Maybe the original song was, “Here we go ’round the gooseberry bush”? No?

Like the mulberries, I ate gallons of gooseberries on my grandparents’ farm straight from the bushes. Munch munch munch, an easy kid-friendly snack on the way to and from the goat barn.

Years later, I am convinced my grandma planted those gooseberry bushes just for me, because I don’t remember her or anyone else ever eating the berries. Well, perhaps she ate a few.

Go find some gooseberries and tell me if you like them as much as I do. Hurry, the season doesn’t last long!
