What a wonderful name. No idea what you are eating, but with a name

They're grapes , a variety of Muscadines . Our Muscadines are a wild variety

incredible flavor .



I just love the sound of 'scuppernongs'. And I foudn a pic online and

How lucky you all are to have such a bounteous country with such a range
of wonderful edibles.
