According to Wikipedia: "Gooseberries are often used as an ingredient in desserts, such as pies, fools and crumbles. They are also used to flavour beverages such as sodas, flavoured waters, or milk, and can be made into fruit wines and teas. Gooseberries can be preserved in the form of jams, dried fruit, or as the primary or a secondary ingredient in pickling, or stored in sugar syrup."
You know, I don't think I've ever tasted them. I'll have to try, the next time I am in Europe.
Join me in a bite of food, or a treat, or lift a glass.
Theme next week: Anything you wish. I will be on vacation June 15 - 26 and will have only intermittent internet access so I will check in as I can.

Im not very familiar with gooseberries either, though Ive always found their name really funny :)
I haven't tried them either...I think...with all those berries it is sometimes difficult to distinguish them all :)
We don't have gooseberries here in the Philippines either.
It was my goal to have a checklist for what berry I've already tried eating, so far I can only put a check besides: strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry.
My uncle used to grow desert goosberries, my favourite use was goosberry and apple jam. Hope you are enjoying the start of your vacation.
We always used to grow gooseberries. We made pies and jams from them. Beware - only some are sweet enough to eat straight from the plant. :)
Gooseberries are great in a crumble, with some custard.
My food themed post is now up.
