I thought blueberries grew on shrubs

These are low shrubs, knee height max. This is called European blueberry in America I think. Here it's just called blueberry, we pick it in the woods and the tall shrub bluebs are sold in stores. The forest ones are dark in the centre and very juicy, sweet and sour, very concentrated taste.

I was shocked and disappointed the first time I ate American blueberries. They’re not blue inside, instead some greenish color and taste like nothing.

Okay so you’re telling me there’s a blueberry out there in the world that isn’t fucking disgusting? … I had an abscess in my mouth once and when it drained it tasted like blueberry pancakes.

I’d love to like blueberries so I try some a couple times a year. They’re so bad though

Gotcha. Will be on the lookout. Maybe order seeds and grow some myself. The idea of messing around with soil acidity makes me feel like this: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/kemist
