I like rowanberries. They have a sharpness that really elevates whatever you may pair it with. I like grilled rye, ham and cheese with this as the compliment. Quite lovely.
Thank you! I'm working on a fantasy book about magical plants, and your channel really helps me understand the process of gathering and cooking (plus cool names, Birdberry is definitely added)
Rowanberries were growing all over the place where I grew up. We also had a juicier and bigger black variety. We were using them as ammo for our improvised slingshots, and munching on one or two, until it gets too bitter.
Yes. My family calls this mountain ash. I've heard it's not safe to eat but I also read a Finnish traditional recipe that uses these berries to make a liquor.

They're such a cool fruit.
Rowan berries needs a night in the freezer before cooking
