Day 307: You've heard it said that some things are a matter of taste. In the case of Red-Flowering Currant fruits, I'd amend that to being a matter of tasteless. A certain friend will no doubt argue the point with me, but I find these purportedly edible berries to be insipid with an afternote which can only be described as "dusty." Consequently, I have never gathered enough of them to try making jam or muffins, unwilling to waste the effort on something I feel is beyond all help. It just goes to demonstrate a maxim I have often repeated: "edible" and "desirable as food" are two entirely different things. Cardboard is "edible," but you wouldn't want a serving of it on your dinner plate.
