Jen – Thanks! I can’t wait to see what other discoveries I’m going to have at the market this year…

Pamela – I hope it’s not just you! Thanks!

Eggy – Thanks!

Mae – I have to say that I’m not sure I could tell the difference between taeberries, boysenberries and the like in the field… But, that’s ok, because they are all delicous!

I have probably seen one of these [even eaten] and not know what they’re called They are all berries to me. Thanks for the reference. Now i can go out and pick some and look here for comparison for their names.

The sherbet looks delicious. Stunning photos, L!

I have also just found out about Tayberries at the Farmer’s Market not too long ago. The ’strawberry lady’ at the markets started selling Tayberry pies, I sampled one, and they were quite good, more tart, as you mentioned.
Your sorbet looks yummy, and as always the photos are stunning.

Thanks Bea! And, yes, you caught my typo! It should have been courgettes! (but now it’s fixed…) I had been flipping through Olive magazine and kept reading references to this strange courgette vegetable I had never heard of, only to find it was just a zucchini! Unfortuntely, I’m not doing anything with those I just bought though… I’m out of town for the week, and despite a mad amount of cooking this weekend, those didn’t make it in. I’ve given them to my neighbor instead… but, I’ll be getting more when I get back.

Melissa – Thanks! Ah, I did read that they were Scottish, but hadn’t seen the part about the river. That certainly makes sense!

Gorgeous – the berries, the sherbet, and the photos! Incidentally, did you read that tayberries are from Scotland? Named, perhaps unsurprisingly, for the area they were developed around the river Tay. Seems you get them a bit earlier than we do here, but at least I have a head-start on ideas

Nice, the recipe is here! Had never heard about this English name for a berry before. Wonder what this is in French. Berries are such hard names to translate. By the way, speaking of wich, you wrote “coregettes”. Do you mean “courgettes”? Since zucchini, in French, is “courgette” (and in British English). If so, the round ones are my favorites! Lucky you! I have been calling around here for weeks now to find them! I am curious to see what you will do with them. I have the ideas, just not the vegetables! ;-(
