Haha.. This discussion is really about the type of gooseberry of the world. In my latest blog; The Story of a Mouse Deer and a Tiger, I have written that gooseberry is one of mouse deer's favourite fruits. The Prostomolotova Galina, Karenne Sylvester and shabeen introduced to me gooseberries from their countries.
Now I wonder, do you have gooseberry in your country. If yes, please share the picture with us in here, and describe the taste like
In Malaysia, our gooseberry is like this. It tastes sour.

Viviana D'Orìa , since you said you just seen it, I guess you never taste it? LOL. I wonder, what do you call it in Italian?
I used to eat a lot of it while I was a kid and living in a village. But, nowadays, I don't see it except when I go to a hotel. It has become a 'high end' fruit. LOL
WOW dsank0, I like the name of nightshade. It sounds so exotic. Over here, the name of it is so plain, just a cape gooseberry. LOL. I wonder why it is called nightshade? Is it the taste same as over here, sour/sweet?
Gooseberry sauce? hehehhe ... sounds like Peking Duck. LOL. Thank you for this interesting information.
Amazing information. Thank you so much for sharing shabeen. In Malaysia, gooseberry is just being "discovered", so it will a longer time for the public to be made aware of its health benefits.
WOW shabeen, thank you for sharing such interesting pictures. Now I just knew that Kiwi Fruit is Chinese gooseberry. Amazing.!
This is Canadian Gooseberry fruit which I've never seen it nor tried it, so , I don't know how it tastes. This is the first time I hear about this fruit. First I thought maybe it's the name of an animal. hehehehe
Hehehe Nafis .. maybe it's called gooseberry because goose love this kind of berry? Your Canadian gooseberry looks similar to Russian's gooseberry. That's indeed interesting.
Dear Noas, maybe..I don't know but even the name is interesting. I didn't even see it at stores. That makes me surprised. But, thanks to you, now, I know it! See! Next time at store, I will be more careful what I'm looking at!
Hi Nafis, sometimes we are just assumed it's part and parcel of our daily life. I have to admit that most of the times, I don't even know the name of vegetables or fish being sold in the stores. I know what it's looked like, but I don't know the name of it. So, gooseberry is not really a popular fruit, I think. :-)
