A friend who is renting a house has some berries in their garden about the
size of large grapes and a dark black colour and wishes to identify them.

Since this group does not accept photos, how might I post a photo that could
be looked at by those in this group please?

Damson or bullace. Prunus domestica. Excellent for jam, jelly,
chutney, cheese, puddings and even eating raw if you like fierce
flavours.

And if you don't like them, send them to my mate Albert. He can't get enough
of them.

Not my cup of tea though, except in jam.

Or me :-)

I've not made tea with them, though I have heard of it. I have made
prunes, which were not a great success.

They make wonderful cheese!

I would have said sloes, a quick taste will determine (if sloes it will feel
as if all your teeth are being sandpapered!)

Thanks to all. Have now tasted one and they are a bit plum tasting, and not
too sharp. This family has young children, so if they are damsons then i
guess its ok for them to go ahead and 'scoff'?

Aren't they a bit big for sloes, bearing in mind the coin on the photo
for scale?
If they're damson, don't bother making anything other than jam with
them - the jam is divine.

Quite - but be sure to keep some for making jam. And keep the
immodium to hand if the kids overindulge ;-)

Hell, no. Just place a potty outside and tell them not to come in
until they are fit for public release :-)

You shouldn't use immodium without a prescription.

You don't need a prescription for it in UK but you can't buy it OTC unless
there's a pharmacist in the chemist's shop. Nobody with a stomach ulcer or
breathing problems, such as bronchitis, should take it.
