"I guess the new houses have improved the neighborhood, but I miss the old raspberry and hoisinberry bushes that used to grow there. I loved to go pick them."
So I was told last week by someone on 128th Street.
One problem.
Hoisinberries don't grow on bushes.
Hoisinberries don't even grow.
There is no such thing as a hoisinberry.
Hoisin sauce is made from soybeans, sweet pototoes - but not berries.
