Hi Mari,

what are barberries like?

i found the botanical name (berberis) of the genus, but there are hundreds of species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berberis

from that, i was able to find the translation, and a reference to making tea with berberis vulgaris fruit, but not sure if that is the kind used in cooking also?

in any case, as it is not something i can find readily (surprise surprise ), i'm wondering if i could try this dish with a similar-tasting berry.

berries we can get (seasonally) here are :
- blueberries
- black currants
- red currants
- blackberries
- raspberries

would one of these be suitable? i am thinking the red currants might be, but i've no idea really...
