[Sca-cooks] Gooseberries?

[Pixel, Goddess and Queen]

They sell them in the grocery store in season here in MN, along with red 
and white currants. I suspect it is because of all the Scandahoovians--if 
nobody bought them, the stores wouldn't carry them.

Myself I have a black currant bush and a red currant, IIRC I bought the 
currant at a local garden center. I've thought about getting a gooseberry 
but haven't put the plan into practice yet, since I need to dig the 
landscaping rocks out of that section of the yard first.
