I dont particularly want to get into an argument about this but...

your next statement helps prove my point


>About berries.  More selective evidence, usually giving blueberries as an
>example.  How about raspberries, huckleberries and mulberries?

northwest wild raspberries and huckleberries are very small and except for
the social interaction in picking them, are not worth the
trouble.  However, a wild evergreen black berry is sweeter and while still
a reasonable size, is still much smaller than the cultivated ones.  It also
has thorns that would like to tear your fingers off.  It btw (along with
raspberry), is a parent of many of the cultivated berries we grow in the
northwest (logans, marions, etc)

I think if you will check a seed catalog you will find mulberries listed as
an ornamental and not as a food item.  I'm not saying they are not edible,
its just that they are small.  I cant remember ever eating one of them.

are you sure the ones you are eating are truly wild and not some cultivated
ones that have escaped?  I'm not trying to be cute.  birds scatter berries...
