We all had great fun and came back with purple fingers and happy faces! Here we call them winberries. Now I have washed them I need a tasty recipe to make the best of my efforts. So I'm going to try your lovely recipe. Thank you.

Think blueberry but tarter and somehow... more.<BR/><BR/>Belinda, yes, I do like this type of... thing a lot, never mind what it's called.<BR/><BR/>Linda, according to an old-wives' tale, it's a very rainy week. Because the ladies are all weepy and stuff. I don't know about statistics. but it was rainy here!<BR/><BR/>Rachel, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Joanna, I didn't want to say it outright, but blueberries are mostly good for looking at, at least in comparison to bilberries.<BR/><BR/>Pille - that's how I thought too, especially since my first language is Swedish where it's explicitly "blue berry" - in Finnish I think blueberries are "pensasmustikka"<BR/><BR/>Oliivia, I know! All this time I've thought people must be insane to call blueberries bland... of course, now that I realise they've been talking about pensasmustikka, it makes a lot more sense.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094928918136322686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322699259423641267.post-64142577128835462702007-07-23T17:19:00.000+02:002007-07-23T17:19:00.000+02:00well what do you know! all these years we've been ...well what do you know! all these years we've been taught pure rubbish at school about mustikka translating as blueberry! confusing stuff, that... <BR/>Yummy pie, be the berry whatever it may by name :)oliiviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151823049861815530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322699259423641267.post-36732666663330827702007-07-23T12:14:00.000+02:002007-07-23T12:14:00.000+02:00I had always translated 'mustikas' as blueberry, b...I had always translated 'mustikas' as blueberry, but when visiting Johanna in London in April, we realised after lots of discussions, that the wild thing (which is blue inside), should be called bilberry instead, and the cultivated larger berries with whitish core are known as blueberries in English-speaking world. Very confusing!! <BR/>Lovely pie, of course!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322699259423641267.post-63840563239418664302007-07-22T13:32:00.000+02:002007-07-22T13:32:00.000+02:00What a lovely idea, to celebrate name days - I'm a...What a lovely idea, to celebrate name days - I'm all for any excuse for a party. We're just off to Scotland, where we can find bilberries, otherwise, it's supermarket blueberries - as you say, not so tasty!<BR/><BR/>Joanna<BR/>joannasfood.blogspot.comJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322699259423641267.post-59519102460356787942007-07-21T15:41:00.000+02:002007-07-21T15:41:00.000+02:00it looks lovely!it looks lovely!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188103984666876013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322699259423641267.post-40666876738324888122007-07-21T14:56:00.000+02:002007-07-21T14:56:00.000+02:00i didn't know it was women's week! lovely. and s...i didn't know it was women's week! lovely. and so is that pie!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802742232541759535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322699259423641267.post-78006795533816350252007-07-21T03:12:00.000+02:002007-07-21T03:12:00.000+02:00This looks so beautiful!
