Rosie_0801 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I bought some today. Apparently they are what Mrs Elton meant by 'hautboys' in Jane Austen's 'Emma.' http://theconversation.com/its-fruit-but-not-as-we-know-it-how-bubbleberries-can-look-like-strawberries-and-taste-of-gum-26247 Pretty exciting, eh?

Annie G Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 How do they taste? Are they frightfully expensive? I love a good strawberry but so often they look great but taste....blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 How do they taste? Are they frightfully expensive? I can only go by that article I linked. I'm not sure if I'll get fruit this season or if I'll have to wait until next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibiche Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Fun! If you are looking for another variety, may I recommend Mara des bois? No exciting literary references that I am aware of (it's a fairly young strawberry) but gosh they are delicious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
