It`s probably the same thing as with broad beans, Mary. They look odd and no one knows what to do with them. Sigh.

Quick question:
Raspberry jam - with or without pips?
(IMHO, much nicer without)

I'm glad someone got that, Mort. I thought it was a bit obscure even by my standards |

Why isn't it possible to buy gooseberries any more? I shall have to grow my own.
Good idea, but watch out for those babies... |

It probably isn't 100% accurate - reconstructed from memory. (But then I read that they varied slightly from performance to performance).
Try this, then:  |

Mary Chambers,
I planted goosenberry bush and black curant bush this spring. I love goosenberries.
I don't think there will be goosenberries on it this year if it will survive the transplant. It is too small.
I love goosenberries. We used to have big ripe goosenberries when I was young. Children can eat very sour berries. I did not wait for them to ripen when I was a child.
I think everybody has to have goosenberry bushes and black curant bushes. I would plant it everywhere if I could issue a decree.

I think I'll buy a gooseberry bush, t-p, but then I'll have to find room for it. We had gooseberries when I was a child, too, but I chiefly remember raspberries, and being small enough to lie under the bushes and look up at the berries which tend to be underneath the leaves. We ate a lot! (I like the pips, in the fruit and in the jam.)
Morticia: I can still buy broad beans, but gooseberries have completely disappeared as far as I can tell.

Mary chambers, We have gooseberries here in a supermarket sometimes, but they are so green and sour that even I can not eat them.  I think these berries are still green. And they are small too. The bigger berries are better. I think I am exceeding the number of post that I allocated for myself. I want to appologize to everyone on this MB. I will try to shut up. |

Mary
My mother makes 'upside-down gooseberry pudding' (and it makes me very happy indeed!). I think this is a recipe from way back - certainly from at least two generations ago. She gets the fruit from local sources, not supermarkets. You cook it with the fruit on the bottom, but then serve it turned upside-down, with the fruit on top. Doh! Anyway, delicious.

 Martle's mother pudding is much better than this one. I don't think this one is upside down pudding. |

It is very good pudding. I love it. I think it is a good idea to make pudding out of goosenberries. May be green goosenberries don't give as much flavour. Or may be they are good in a pudding.
I don't want to cry in a Happy room, but I am going to be reprimanted because I am still here.
I am happy now so I don't care. I am happy because I am in a Happy Room and there is a superb desert here. I can even have some cream. May be I can even have a little bit of wine with it.
