I never liked fresh raspberries, though I loved raspberry layers in chocolate tortes and raspberry jellies in chocolate candy. Every time I tried the fresh ones from the store, they were sour.
Then I stayed at a hotel (in Atlanta) and got upgraded to "concierge level," which came with a late afternoon/early evening honor bar. The food was free. (Only the alcoholic drinks cost anything.) Well, they had the best spreads, including the most perfect fresh fruits. I tried some of their raspberries, and they were incredibly good! Large, juicy, and so, so sweet!
Nothing like the little sour pellets for $4 for a measly pint from the store. Now whenever I find them in good condition, I get them and feast. Not so easy to find the good ones, though. (I've learned to get the frozen ones. They're wonderful in mango-raspberry smoothies.)
Oh, I could go for some right now!
