Most people know the difference between black currants and blackberries or AIBU?

DP told me she had seen lots of black currants and said she would juice them, I love ribena so was pretty happy.
She bought me a large glass of nice sweet black currant juice, except it was tarte evil blackberries. I took a massive mouthful, it wasn't pleasant but anyway she had no idea blackberries and black currants are different things!
She is adamant that this isn't common knowledge, do you know the difference? Am I going crazy?

That's why we call them brambles

They're both 'orrid, just eat the sugar on's own.

Blackcurrants are the bobbly ones, blackberries are the round ones? And blueberries look like blackberries?

As you can tell, despite growing up in the country and being surrounded by the bobbly ones, I can't remember the difference.

NO! Blackcurrants are the round ones. BlackBERRIES are the knobbly ones, like raspBERRIES.

If you knit or know someone who does, you'll recognise blackberry stitch as the knobbly one. Although I was just googling for a good example and found it referred to in several places as raspberry stitch. I'm sorry, that's just wrong. But at least they aren't calling it blackcurrant stitch.

Wow, just.wow. This Post makes me sad. But then I'm a keen forager and daughter of one. Silver lining = all the more free fruit for me!
