Yankee Doodle #1

Anything that would be flavored grape at home is flavored blackcurrant here.

As in: candy (chewy soft candy and hard candy alike); soft drinks and sports drinks (including something called "squash"); medicine.

What can you get here with a grape flavor? Wine.

It doesn't really bother you at first. But, after a while, you're eating some candy, and there's strawberry, and orange, and lemon, and lime, and then the purple one should be grape -- but it's a horrible bitter taste. Like those berries in the forest you're not supposed to eat.

That's blackcurrant.

Now what I really crave is some grape Jell-O squares -- but that's a topic for another post.
