They do distinguish between groseille rouge, groseille blanche and
groseille à maquereau (gooseberry).

Something fishy about that. Mackerel berry?

What an exciting life you lead - ordering in a restaurant must be very

Try ordering in an Italian one! (especially vegetables, say, fennel...)

There is a town near Frascati with the same name. Try booking a hotel there.
