Blueberries, Raspberries - so good!


Wild raspberrries, ville bringebær in Norwegian,
are delicious!
I come from what is probably
a long line of berry pickers
(my mother still loves to pick),
but for me the enjoyment is in eating,
not in the picking itself.

These raspberries, sold at the market in Bergen,
have been grown in a garden.
They also taste great, but not as intense
as the wild variety.

Norwegian blueberries, blåbær in Norwegian,
are not like the bigger American blueberries,
but smaller and they grow in the forest.

When I was a child, pancakes with
blueberry jam on Thursdays,
was one of the highlights of the week.
