Watermelon
Mulberry. Australian classic. Best. Berry. In. The. World.
Strawberries. Where I was a kid I looked like I had a constant rash but I was eating strawberries 24/7
Banana. Heard they're botabically berries.
Fav berries in no particular order are raspberries, blackberries, cranberries and blueberries
Wild blueberries. I love frozen fruit in general (like a healthier version of popsicles), and wild blueberries are my favorite. They're smaller and way more flavorful than normal blueberries.
Glad that resonates with another soul, I always feel like I'm just "weird"
Tayberry, it's like a better raspberry.
Rubus chamaemorus or cloud berry. I had it when we stayed over night in the northern Swedish mountain and it's sweet, fruity, soft and creamy at the same time. Heaven in your mouth!
Shoot am I the only one here from the Pacific Northwest USA? Our most invasive species is also the most delicious berry there is: Himalayan blackberry. Canβt be beat. Just had some blackberry jam today on a charcuterie plate
Goldenberry (gooseberry). It's like mango, passion fruit, pineapple all packed into a single berry.
Redcurrant
Huckleberries
Blackberries and blueberries if I'm eating them straight-up. If its berry-flavor, like in a syrup or something, its boysenberry 100%
Tomatoes
Not gonna lie, maybe my second fave if we're getting technical. But cheese_greater HATES bananas. I'm bananas enough, ain't nobody got time for more of the same.
If you're going to go with botanical definitions instead of culinary, then tomatoes would jump to the top of your list: raspberries are not actually berries; they are an aggregate fruit.
I'm realize I'm straddling the line ;) Hence the bananas thing. We're being pretty relaxed in this thread, if the discussion is purely limited to botanical berries, its going to be a fairly inaccessible or banal discussion compared to what is admissible in this thread :) Lets have some fun with it, eh?
Edit: for the purposes of this threaf and in the [paraphrased/adapted] words of the US Supreme Court, its a berry if I say it is ;)
@cheese_greater @asklemmy Iβm a sucker for blueberries - theyβre currently in season. Either on their own or in something.
Must be edible. Im making that a rule aha
Edit: in the alternative, what do you like about the taste so much?
Edit: also, smile while eating ;)
Not my cup of tea... But it's technically edible haha
Probably blueberries, fresh blueberries in pancakes, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, etc are so good
Blackberries and blueberries over Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, yum

I'm probably the weird one here, but I love cranberries. But not in cranberry sauce or anything. I have them in parfaits or pancakes/waffles mostly. But I frequently eat a few just plain without anything on them while I'm cooking.
I'm sensitive to sugar, so anything with more sugar in it makes me ill. But cranberries are perfect and tasty. I love the intense tang of them.
