Blackberries and strawberries! Although my tastes are likely coloured by the fact that I live in a place where few fresh fruits grow other than those, similar berries (yes, I know strawberries aren't technically berries), and apples. So I like what is tastiest here. But I do really like them

Weird. To me blackberries and strawberries are the most likely to be either bland or overripe/rotten tasting. I would pick raspberries (and maybe blueberries) any day of the week

I find that they do not store or travel well. Like a lot of fruit they're enormously tastier when they're in season and local

Probably true in many cases, but I've also eaten strawberries straight from the vine which were watery and tasteless... Raspberries are just more consistent

I love raspberries but the common worm infestations deter me a bit.

Depends where they're grown I think. I can't stand California strawberries but give me some fresh BC strawberries and I am in heaven. I've never liked blackberries though, despite them growing on like every street corner here.

Scotland! I've never visited the PNW but the impression I get as an outsider is that the landscape and climate are quite similar to Scotland's. The mountains are a lot bigger, but the general shape of things seems to hold
