I came upon some loganberries today at the u-pick blueberry place, and 
was amazed and delighted - great flavor, unobtrusive seeds, and soft 
core.  Red raspberries are great, but these were something more, I 
couldn't eat a bowl of raspberries but I would of these loganberries.
Mmmm. 

How do black raspberries, tayberries, marionberries, etc. compare 
for fresh eating, as far as seediness and core?  And flavor, of 
course.

The siskiyou blackberries are a disappointment - large, yes, great
flavor, on the tart side, very seedy and a thick inedible core.  May
as well eat the himalayans everywhere.
