When I was very small I heard of boysenberry flavored ice cream
But I thought they were saying “poison berry”
And since I was somewhat familiar with the yew and bittersweet nightshade that grew by my home, I figured those were the poison berries in question.
But I was no dummy–I knew all about the existence of artificial flavors. Obviously they weren’t selling ice cream that contained REAL poison.
So, therefore, someone must have eaten the poison berries and described to a team of food scientists what they tasted like, in their last moments
Just like
The ultimate dedication to flavor
I mean if that plant really is called “bittersweet nightshade” then someone did eat it enough to describe how it tasted, but their description really doesn’t sound like it’d make a good ice cream flavor
