Sequoia Brussels sprouts are delicious but it's pretty hard to finish one.

Blackberries have grown wild in Europe for thousands of years. The US ones have been messed with by farmers and scientists, but in the UK they're pretty much the original deal.
Yeah I was thinking about this recently. Wild blackberries you see all over the place growing like a weed are pretty much the exact same as the ones you see in a shop.
It's nothing like, say, apples, which have been changed a lot by humans.
Or wild (smaller) strawberries.
Same with lots of berries, like billberries, currants and raspberry.
