I remember eating Ber fruit when I was a kid in India.  There were two trees or bushes behind my parent's house.  There was loads of fruit on them but I only ate the ripest yellow ones which were not all that plentiful because the fruit bats always came at dusk and ate all the ripe fruit from the bushes...  Anyway, it was pretty good, but small, the size of a date but tasting more like an apple or pear, if I remember correctly.  Nobody else ever ate them.
