Nature: Ribena berries
Spotted this at the Gaya Street Sunday Market.
What the...Ribena berries??!!
I mean, what in the world are these things anyway?From memory, Ribena berries are nothing like the spikey puffer fish-ish looking thing in that basket. They should be ROUND, PURPLE, cute and adorable… like on the Ribena drink advertisements, that is.

Those u see in the market must be the ugly twin.
Yes, as far as i know they are cute, round and adorable, sitting in my fridge!!

Hahaha! Ah...the Ribena Berries.. Brings back a lot of memories. You know, I used to make the drink and freeze it. Ice Ribena Popsicles = Bliss of Childhood.
But if those spiky things are REALLY the Ribena fruits, then yes, we've all been cheated.
Nasty looking....
hahaha...ribena berries revolution..

Ha... shld buy some to try!
I did a post sometime back about Singaporeans' (those based in China) fascination with Ribena.
i have this habit of always trying to figure out what the cancelled word reads, when i see signs like this.
;p
I was kinda wondering what everybody thought too, when I first saw them... "What the"
Anyway, yeah... K, good catch. I really DO wonder now, what the words are????
Could be a misspelled 'Fruit' or 'Food' I think there's an 'o' in there...
I have a strong feeling that crossed out word is 'Foot'.
Look closely.
Hahaha.
Gotta love Gaya Street.
These fruits are called sorrell in Jamaica, they are very nutritious and packed with vitamin C & antioxidants. They can be blended with ginger and sweeetened with sugar to make a nice juice,whisky or rum can be added for flavour. These are very important in our culture especially at Christmas where it is served with our Christmas pudding.It can also be prepared by boiling the water then put in the fruit cover it and alllow it to draw...........please try it u'll be happy u did
