Some of my happiest (and yummiest!) memories are of looking for mulberries and eating them. Once and a while my family and I used to mash them up and put them over vanilla ice cream... It would be great to do this now and to somehow add warm brownie into that mix:) I grew up eating these from the tree in my backyard when I was growing up.

We both would be purple by the end of the trip. purple spots on a white car, though... ugh. perfect for over ice cream. a cheese cake topping or just off the tree. brings back a good memory of me on my horse. he ate the lower berries, I ate the higher ones.

As a general rule, if I don't know what it is, I don't eat it.<br /><br />If you want to go all caveman and try an experiment, start with just one tiny berry. If you're not sick after a half-hour, try a couple. Still not sick after another half-hour? Try another couple. Oh, and don't eat anything else while you're experimenting.<br /><br />Yes, it's really tedious, but that's how you find out if they're edible. My prediction is you figure out after the first one that they just don't taste so good and give up. Wow, that's umm … not nearly enough info to go on.
