Sorry for posting this a little late. I did eat it in May, and that's what's important right? I didn't have my camera at the time, so this is the best I could do with my phone.

During early May, my office held a mini conference, and my team were all volunteers to help work the event. A few days later, these "thank you cards" (cupcakes!) were delivered. I don't recall ever eating blackbrees before, so this was a good opportunity to try something new.

Preparation:

1. Make a totally awesome cupcake, with totally rad blackbree frosting.
2. Pick giant fresh blackbrees, place one on top of each (totally wicked) cupcake.
   
3. Deliver to unsuspecting, but pleasantly surprised volunteers.

Thoughts:

I would try it again. Obviously, I didn't have a lot to go on. I picked the blackbree off of the cupcake and split it into two bites, but that was all that was available. If memory serves it was a little tart, and I also seem to remember it being a little seedy (but nowhere near as seedy as strawberries).

These experiments (trying new foods) seem to work out a lot better for me when I don't have a lot of time to think about it beforehand — I tend to build up adrenaline and get nervous. It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. When something new lands on my desk and I eat it within a minute, I just don't have time to get nervous.
