Meh, not a huge loss for Americans IMO. Blackcurrants are probably the berry I could most easily do without. Redcurrants on the other hand..

Redcurrants on the other hand..
- nicolaslem 3y agoI didn't like it at first but as some grows in my garden I got used to it. Now eating blackcurrant while working is one of the highlights of summer for me.
- scandox 3y agoMakes an amazing Jam. Surprisingly complex flavour.
- tpm 3y agoAnd they have a naturally high content of pectin (a fibre that is used as a thickener additive / gelling agent).
- DrScientist 3y agoYep - one of my favourite jams - that's how pretty much all my black currents are used.
- vmilner 3y agoYou can still get UK blackcurrant yogurt (eg "Longley Farm") in the same little pots I used to get from the milkman in the mid-70s so not all is wrong with the world....
- pvaldes 3y agoChokeberries would made an acceptable substitute.
- SanchoPanda 3y agoIf ever there were a food item that needed a "Chilean Sea Bass" style marketing rebranding, its the Chokeberry.
