Hi Benoit,

This image looks like a great dessert !

The pronounced inverted snow cone is topped with lovely berries.

I wonder if these berries are ok to eat ?

Best Regards my friend, Mike

Hi Mike,

thanks for your comments.

This the fruit of Sorbus aucuparia, commonly called rowan and mountain-ash. You can only eat if you cook them, and make into compote, jelly, jam, a tangy syrup, a tart chutney, or juice, as well as wine and liqueur.

In my country, a long-standing custom says that more fruits you have on trees, longer and colder will be the winter. This year, trees were overloaded.

 Best regards my friend.
