Agreed. It's my favourite fruit flavour. It's very distinctive, so I imagine it's a love-it-or-hate-it taste. In the US, there are few domestic products that incorporate blackcurrant, but just about any European-import grocery will likely be stocked with a wide variety. Jams, jellies, syrups, soft drinks, instant oatmeal with freeze-dried blackcurrants, etc. Larger liquor stores will often have (usually imported) cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) as well.
I'm still disappointed that Strongbow never brought their "Dark Fruit" cider to the US. I first tasted blackcurrant by drinking one in London about ten years ago.

He has a drum machine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakebite_(drink) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakebite_(drink))
- jameshart 3y agoYou can make your own authentic British pub-style cider-and-black by grabbing a bottle of Ribena from the 'British' or 'Irish' section of your local supermarket's 'ethnic foods' aisle, and adding a shot to the glass before pouring in your Strongbow.
