blueberries are wickety wack. The best berry is the blackberry! for some reason blackberries are in season for a week and then the rest of the time they are ridiculously overpriced. I can buy $1 baskets of blueberries but not blackberries. Pisses me off. Raspberries are the worst cause shit always gets stuck in the hole that raspberries leave from the stem and when you wash them you see dead grubs that float out of them. nasty.

You don't have to go up to New England for great blueberries -- southern New Jersey (in the rural part of the state) also has them and you can go picking at farms down there. It's a lot of fun.
