Are tayberries nice?

Yes.

IMO better than Loganberries.


You do know that doesn't help don't you.


No... I assumed everyone in this land, if not the world - knew what
Loganberries were like.

Imagine a blackberry plant with thinner and (slightly) less vicious
thorns (there are thornless varieties), bearing a fruit which looks like
a rather large, long and somewhat lumpier version of a raspberry, but
which, when picked, comes with the central pith, as does a blackberry.

They are sharper (usually) than raspberries, and therefore used in
cooking more than raspberries, though that's not to say they aren't
delicious fresh.

I might see if we can get out the house today and see if they have
any. Might as well try them if they have some


Well, I now need a Loganberry to complete the collection - I've a
Tayberry, a Boysenberry, a blackberry, various raspberries, but no
Loganberry - yet.

Any wineberries? black raspberries? cloudberries?
