SO has been a blueberry connoisseur for many years. Wild blubes are
especially fine, since you can taste the differences due to different
stages of ripening, and the different microclimates in which the plants
grow. The berries we picked yesterday are really excellent. Some of
the plumper, sweeter ones have taste notes similar to grapes, peach, and
(believe it or not) bubblegum.
