my barometer for taste here at Dreamtime is cornelian cherries (cornus 
mas).  so far only my son & I absolutely love them & most everyone else 
declares them unedible. such a unique flavor & so under-appreciated.  
we need to have some flavor cheerleaders to expand people's openness to 
new species new flavors.
