The message
from Sacha contains these words:

I don't like them much so rarely ate them as a child and never straight off
the bush, so I never suffered. But they're famous for stomach ache if eaten
unripe, aren't they?

Allegedly. I never suffered, and if the parents (and grandparents)
didn't hurry up amd pick them, they began to diminish.

I guess I must have been found under a groseillier de macquereau innit.

I only like the big dessert ones, the name of which I
never remember!

Bellyachers.

No, I'm tolerably sure my ex fil didn't call them that. ;-)
