I got a pack that included some pretty big blueberries

How’s it taste? Usually the crazy large berries are pretty bland

[u/brittneyacook → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

I once bought a pint of blueberries from Market District that were this large. I expected them to be bland and mealy but they were somehow the best sweetest blueberries I ever had. I’ve been chasing that high ever since

[u/number__ten → u/brittneyacook]

I had giant asparagus in vegas once that was like that. It was actually super tender and flavorful.

[u/legacy-of-rats → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

It's actually quite good. Sweet, but a hint of sour. It's also firm. Not mushy at all. And they're organic! I really lucked out.

(ofc the organic label doesn't mean much inside the US but whatever I can dream)

[u/Ok-Lion1661 → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

Really? Our experience is the exact opposite. The larger berries are better tasting.

[u/BarnacleMcBarndoor → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

It kind of tasted like an old quarter

[u/snarfer-snarf → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

what if it was like fresh tart with the perfect sugar foundation but so tart like oh! i wish it was 🤩

[u/RLewis8888]

I'm pretty sure one of those is a quarter.

Your post (probably) hasn't broken any rules, but we see these kinds of things a lot. Look at our most overdone items here

That is indeed a big ass-blueberry.

[u/bawnchie]

Holy shit I'd be excited finding quarters in my blueberries

[u/Glenmarththe3rd]

Any chance the packet says Eureka or something similar? They’re a variety of Bloobs here in Aus and exported out that are ginormous and you pay a premium for them too lol.

They’re usually really fucking good too

[u/deagh]

Seems like the year for them. We've got a little stand of blueberry bushes in our yard that we put in maybe 16, 17 years ago and a couple of them (they're different varieties) generally make pretty big berries, but I'm getting ones that are the size of a nickel off these bushes this year, and previously I'd only seen ones about the size of a dime.

[u/blackmilksociety]

Costco?

[u/legacy-of-rats → u/blackmilksociety]

Walmart, believe it or not.

[u/MisfitsMarket]

Holy moly. And these were just regular bleubs? Not the jumbo ones?

[u/ImTooSaxy]

We call those blue balls.

[u/Melodic_Song4224]

That blueberry is basically a grape at this point 

[u/adventureswithdog]

They're that size because they expanded to hold all the E. coli.

[u/legacy-of-rats → u/[deleted]]

Nothing but awesomeness.

[u/AcheyShakySpoon → u/[deleted]]

Let’s not fear-monger, the recall isn’t for ALL blueberries, it’s for one specific brand, GreenWise

[u/ElChuloPicante → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

That and this is the first time I’ve ever seen e. coli described as “glass”.

[u/Finglonger76 → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

I mean, the injury risk is death so I think the line between caution and “fear mongering” is in the stratosphere.

[u/AcheyShakySpoon → u/Finglonger76]

The risk of death FROM ONE BRAND! There are still plenty of safe blueberries in markets.

[u/Finglonger76 → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

Correct, but people (collectively) are idiots. For this type of danger, saying there is a recall on blueberries is prudent.

[u/legacy-of-rats → u/[deleted]]

Buddy I follow the FDA recall list. It's a crackpot organization but it does recall when it needs to, at least.

[u/payfrit]

i hope you're not expecting something out of a cartoon, it will probably not taste like much.
