I've come to the conclusion, blueberries do not deliver on the promise of their visual lusciousness. My preliminary investigation on some Co-Op bought one are:

Got some the size of marbles yesterday. Not tried them yet

I thought this was going to be a thread about paint.

I tried some fresh ones a few years ago expecting them to taste like they do in blueberry muffins or blueberry cheesecake and was also disappointed to find they tasted of literally nothing. It's just sugar and flavouring in the muffins/cheesecakes then.

That was the implication yes

Soz, I didn't read your post.
Some one told me you weren't one of "the important ones" so I scrolled on by.


Very good. 5*. Highly recommended. Would eBay with this seller again.

Tell you what, I love blueberries, but I couldn't eat a whole one!

All varieties of fruit will occasionally disappoint so it's safer to stick to foods that are reliably consistent, such as...



Yes, you're sometimes surprised by a few stray coarse hairs but mostly you know exactly what you're getting.

You can always spit them out if they make you gag. (Not me, I'll swallow anything).

That scene did used to make me feel funny. I couldn't work out what it was but of course I now know I had the horn.

Man the names for weed types are really getting out of hand.

I don't like blueberries, they taste fucking weird.

Are they better than Mr. Porky?

On the Seepage Porridge DietTM (pm me for details and cost) - only variety in my local was 'Apple and Blueberry'. Not the usual apple & blackcurrant or even apple & cinnamon. Too scared to try it yet so might go hungry tonight.

It depends on your personal preference. Mr Porky's scratching are generally lighter and crunchier whereas the KVE product shown (they do others) contain a mix of softer scratchings with a few dangerously hard fragments thrown in to catch the consumer unawares. I currently have three broken teeth.

You should try Blodwyn's Roasted Shavings

Not sure how it'd work in a cheesecake but yeah, the 'blueberries' in muffins are flavoured sugar clumps.

I'm glad that a Great Truth has been revealed here. Right, pomegranates and their arils are getting it next.

KVE are more likely to have unshaven scratchings, which are a West Midlands delicacy. One of the few things I (occasionally) really crave since leaving the midlands*.

(*The others are decent pints of mild and going to watch the Villa play at home)

Ah, mild ale. Did you ever try Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild, brewed at The Beacon, Sedgley? Very strong (for mild) at 6.0 ABV and very moreish.

The nadir of shit food is the blueberry muffin. Shit berry, shit cake - end them.
