Blueberry Is the Most Disappointing food

General Discussion

As a little boy, I remember being super hyped to try blueberry. I loved then, and still do, love blueberry muffins and yogurt, so surely the berry must be good too right? I remember asking my parents for them. They're sort of a luxury here. I suppose saying luxury would be a stretch, but they're more expensive than apples and strawberries and you can't just walk into any and every grocery for them. We have a store called price mart where all the fancy American imports are, and you have to go there for blueberries.
Anyways, you can imagine my excitement when one day they brought home a crate of blueberries. I remember thinking it was such a big moment. Keep in mind I was maybe six or seven. I sat at my little desk, could barely contain my excitement. My mother packed out some of the stuff in my favourite bowl which was also blue, and then...
I picked it up. Small, I thought. Probably means it's extra sweet.
Then I bite it and...
That was the most bland and underwhelming thing I've ever had the displeasure of eating . Even in pancakes it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
So anyways, I've always talked about how disappointing I found blueberries but I've never actually written it down.
What are your thoughts? What is the most disappointing food for you? Am I wrong about blueberries? Actually let me rephrase. Are you objectively wrong about blueberries?
All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

I must admit, I'm having quite a hard time wrapping my head around the English names for berries. You've got blackberries, blueberries, just “berries”, wild berries, bilberries... I'm completely lost! I tried looking it up in a dictionary, but I ended up getting confused by two completely contradictory explanations. :D
So here's my question — what exactly is a blueberry? :)

I don't know how to explain what a blueberry is, but I find them scrumptious. There's nothing bland at all about them.

Blackberries are quite tart and have tiny seeds or something in them. I even like those. Blackberries are a good bit smaller in size than blueberries. I'm trying to find a way to describe what a blueberry is. Oh well, maybe someone can chime in.

Sorry, Charlie, I must strongly disagree with your opinion. We have them with yogurt and muesli during the warmer months so naturally we can't get any now, and now I'm craving them thanks to you, lol.

Once my sighted sister gave me a good advice. She memorised all these berries by color. Blackberry is obviously black, and it's the berry which is sour and black. Blueberry is the berry which is blue, and while neither the hungarian, nor the polish name doesn't help anyone here, we call it áfonya, polish folks call it borówka. Strawberry is a different thing, even if the berry itself has a color, it cannot be memorised just looking at it. Strawberry is truskawka in polish, eper in hungarian, it's very sweet and yummy. Some people, including me, eat it with sugar.
And raspberry, well, yeah, it has no color in the name either. We call it málna, and we borrowed it from slavic languages I guess because polish folks call it malina, and so do russians.

Well, I do like blew baries, and some I find can be very fresh. And squishey, whitch I think that meens they arn't ripe enough yet. @Pajper is there a farm where you could probably find a blewbarey tree and grow some? Than maybe you could get the hang of what it's like.
Let the stars be your guide. Let your mind just relax. And when in doubt, meditate.

Edited
Strawberry is not a colour, but it is itself a descripter of a type of colour in English.
Berries don't really grow here, so my only encounter with them is as flavourings in things like ice cream or yogurt so I can't give you much help with describing them. I just know blueberries are small and round.

They're larger than blackberries though, and smooth on the outside.

I think squishy means they're too ripe.

I love all kinds of fruits in general, maybe the only exception being lychee.
My favourite are the tropical fruits, however a berry of any kind I'll happily eat :)

I've had a lot of the same experiences if I'm honest. Growing up the impoverished kid that I was meant that the only fruits I had regular access to were the ones that grew in my back yard: mangos, tamarins etc, but I did have access to fruit flavored things, like blueberry doughnuts or cherry capri suns. So when I grew older and had the chance to try the fruits from which these heavenly flavors surely came, well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that I hated them, but it was definitly a disappointment.

Lichees are yummy, and their juice makes an excellent drink mixed with mineral water. We have that quite frequently here in Munich.

Blueberries are ok, you just got overhiped because you were retarded as a kid, don't worry we all had those moments.

Of course, the best fruits are objectively grapes, they can't even go bad if they go bad you just get drunk eating them which is an improvement.

Maybe it's just me misinterpreting, but could you for once stop this, actually, retarded kind of shitposts?

I mean yeah, they were OK. I'm not saying they were bad or anything, they were just all right. I was expecting more flavour
