winberry

[SarrissUK]

I don't know Paul, I just know that those pictures are of the type of blueberries I was picking back in Sweden. And I know I've bought blueberry jam in the ikea shop that definitely was Swedish blueberries.. so if you call them bilberries, that's what they are lol
Plants have been one of the few things that have taken me a long time to figure out.. especially those that aren't prolific or common. I had a look on wikipedia and other sites that came up when I searched for winberries, and they all seem to refer to them as bilberries too.. or blaeberries which actually is the name that makes most sense to me, since blueberry is blabar in Swedish (with a few dots over the a's).
I'm not sure if I'm clarifying anything actually LOL!

confusing isn't it? Plant names, people names

As kids we used to love sticking our tongues out at each other because they went black.

haha ye after picking them my fingers went from deep purple to black
Whatever they are, they make a really nice pie!!

I think it's Whinberries or Bilberries, the British equivalent to Blueberries

Hope so, because they're delicious, but since we moved here we've never managed to find any.

Can anybody tell me where I might find some? - Preferably not much more than 20(ish) miles west(ish) of Southampton. (or maybe even 30(ish) miles, if it's worth the journey)
