Wow! We have a glut and I have admit to feeling quite inspired about the gooseberry for the first time in my life. Thank you, lovely recipes and pics

Oh these lil fellows are infinitely useful. Get them into drinks, too! Gooseberry margarita, for example…

I like mine at dusk, straight off the bush. I don’t use my hands to gather them. One by one they arrive on my tongue. I let the prickles tickle. At the moment they start irritating I squish the firm drupelet hard against the roof of my mouth. A bursting bubo of bitter seedy ectoplasm!

Of course that's how you eat gooseberries. Are they from the Stodmarsh thickets?

Sometimes I forget the fact that there are magical places where people could eat a lot of berries. I love this recipes unluckily in Italy gooseberries aren’t easy to find and are very expensive. But the tiramisu with gooseberries looks so delicious 🤤

Italian get mad only when we see someone ruining the flavour of food, like for tortellini I get mad every time I see someone add on that bolognese ragù because the flavour is too strong and will ruin the filling that is very delicate and complex. In this case like in the other post about Tiramisu u made ur version respecting the flavour and balancing the ingredients so how this could be wrong?
