Gooseberries: love 'em or hate 'em?

[Moopmoop]

Last year was my first crop of homegrown red goosegogs and they were yummy. This year I've also bought a green bush so I can use them for cooking. Anyone have any comments on the yellow variety, taste wise etc?

I like all fruit - including gooseberries - but not tomatoes (if you want to class them as a fruit) This is somewhat unfortunate as I have 25 tomato plants in the poly tunnel !!

I like them although the only thing we seem to use them for is making wine ����

The gooseberry season seems so short, and you are lucky to see them in the shops, and they are hard green cookers, not the sort of thing to encourage popularity.

I love gooseberries, even though you need to wear a full suit of armour to approach the bushes, favourites are fool, crumble, jam, and best of all, ice cream -
