Edible Europe

The early European settlers arriving in Australia must have been pretty disappointed by the lack of edible vegetation. You can hardly walk five paces through a German forest or garden without stumbling over tasty morsels growing wild.

I've already found wild blueberries, red currants, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. The garden in Belgium also sports a couple of apple trees and hazlenuts.

The fresh berries for sale at the markets are delicious - especially the raspberries! They come in large punnets, filled to the brim with juicy berries, and cost about $2-$3 per punnet.

Hi! Sorry, to spoil your enthusiasm, but why on earth, did you put - knowing what fruits we did see along the way - those unripe wild blackberries down to illustrate "edible europe".

Because you ate all the juicy berries we bought at the markets before I could take a photo!
