Biscuit-- Not only can they be eaten but they're delicious. I've had a gooseberry cake made by my grandmother in Poland that's *amazing*. It's very tart, but there's nothing else like it in the world. There's a few different varieties, and I think I like the red ones better. Up close they kind of look like deep-sea mines. ;) --Jason
And I always thought that "gooseberry pie" was a fabrication by the Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, the question remains, can they actually be eaten without bodily harm. --Mr. Biscuit
