I have a gooseberry bush. I’m trying to think of something to do with them. My family likes gooseberry pie.

A liberal lawyer was driving in the country when he saw a man out in a field eating grass. The lawyer stopped and asked him why. The man replied that due to the Obama economy all the jobs had dried up and this was how he stayed alive. The lawyer offered to take him home but the man said he had a family that was ‘grazing’ over the hill out of sight. The lawyer gathered them all together and put them in his car and brought them home. On the way home, the man told the lawyer how much he appreciated the help in their time of trouble. The lawyer said, “Happy to help out, and you will like my place. The grass is over a foot tall!”

I can’t hear or read the word Elderberry without thinking of Arsenic and Old Lace! Sorry I know it’s off topic, but then that’s how brain works.

I’ll have to share that with my liberal-leaning brother in law from Chicago.

"Reminds me of wild hickory nuts. Excellent taste but to hard to crack.
Don't plant your garden until the Hickory Tree sprouts in the spring.

The Johnny Carson parodies of the Euell Gibbons commercials were classic.

The ubiquitous twinky can be found in many environments, and can be a good source of healthful and energy providing nourishment.
Once the tough outer wrapper is removed and discarded as inedible the soft sponge like interior with it's
sweet creamy filling may be consumed in it's entirety.
Many consumers also lick any remaining sponge particles from the starchy cardboard like sheet on which the Twinky is grown.

In the Fall, my yard is covered with acorns. I think I’ll take a whack at making acorn bread this year.

I bet the Grape Nuts folks weren’t too thrilled when Euell died in ‘75.

Elderberry wine?! My mouth is watering!

I think you mean Euell, not Hugh, and his wild hickory nuts.
In Apicius, there is frequent mention of laser (sylphium in Greek) as an ingredient. "Worth it's weight in siver" to the extent that the wild North African plant was harvested to extinction.
Granted, less of a chance of grasses coming to that end, but ... "Don't eat the grass" could be more prevalent with BHO running amuck and Reid's BLM following suit.

Yes, that is good, but usually needs quite a bit of sugar, unless the berries are very ripe.
