As this is a U.S. channel, I’m surprised they didn’t explain the reason gooseberries( and currants) are not more popular is because for many years they were actively eradicated and banned due to white pine blister rust(still banned in a few states). The lumber industry was bigger than any fruit grower. Problem is that they never could eradicate native ribes species, which also carry the disease. I grow many rust resistant gooseberries and love them. As most Americans cultivars are naturally mildew resistant, I’ve never even heard of it! You show pictures of both gooseberries(Species Ribes, family Grossulariaceae) as well as various species of husk berries( golden berry, cape goooseberry, Peruvian gooseberry, ground cherry), all in the Solanaceae family.

Few Englishmen are aware that their beloved "marmelade" was originally quince jam ("marmelo" is the Portuguese term for quince, and "marmelade" literally means "quince jam", which was originally imported from there). At some point, English producers began using orange instead of quince, but the name remained.

@Archihuman

Correct, the portuguese word for quince is "marmelo" and here in Portugal, we make a sweet quince paste called "marmelada". It's not really a "jam", it sets into a firm paste since quinces are very high in pectin. You can also boil the peels and other trimmings with sugar to make "geleia. That does resemble "marmelade"

I buy Iceberg lettuce for burritos, It is crunchy unlike the leafy lettuce and that crunch is provided to my burritos along with a good way to hold the hot sauce.

Gooseberries, turnips and quinces are still popular in Germany. Quinces as a marmalade or jam, gooseberries as a cake or yoghurt and turnips in salads, mashed or as Kraut as well as just cooked with a sauce. Iceberg lettuce is very popular as well.

Well, depends on the region and generation. Quinces are really popular in the south/south-west but are less used by the newer generation. Iceberg is slowly dying as a salad ingredient, but remains a larger part in Döner Kebab and other fastfood sandwiches. Turnips are most common here as the "Kohlrabi" or "german turnip"; from experience it is a "love or hate" vegetable, and also not as popular with the younger generation. Same for the gooseberries, there is also the complication of usage and incorporation.

On the subject of iceberg lettuce, in tex mex cuisine, lettuce is often served on all foods, flautas,tacos, quesadilla, enchilada plate as a small salad, and more. So it will remain here in Texas, especially south Texas

most margarines in the US contain buttermilk and the market is mostly divided by people who don't want synthetics and people who are lactose intollerant... "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" is *LITERALLY* over 30% butter milk.

Still buy Crisco, prefer Miracle Whip to mayonnaise 😊 always buy iceberg lettuce, love radish’s. Most think what you grew up having and just continue to enjoy. There nothing better than tomato sandwich two slices white bread with miracle whip little salt and fresh tomato out the garden 😋

The problem with acorns is that you needed to pour water over them repeatedly (good to make a hole in sand near a freshwater shore and place the acorns there, for simplicity's sake, or use a loosely woven basket) to leach out the bitterness before you ground them up into acorn flour, otherwise your taste buds were in for a nasty surprise. I love Miracle Whip. My whole family can't stand regular mayo for sandwiches. It is fine for stuff like tuna salads, though.

Margerine is largely used here in Brazil... it is more cost effective than butter... and tastes almost the same

Quince grow well in our part of Oregon, but rarely found in markets. Mostly in backyards.

As an Argentinian, quinces are an staple fruit in many desserts, we just can´t live without them

In Germany, quinces are eaten quite often as jam/jelly, turnips are having a comeback as a "healthier alternative" to eating lots of potatoes and iceberg lettuce is one of the most common kinds of salad, available in every supermarket. :D So interesting to see these differences!

I bought a grafted Asian pear tree several years ago and the rootstock keep it down in size. After a couple of bad freezing winters, all I had left of supposedly 5 different varieties, including a Bartlet pear, was the round Asian pear, a branch of the Bartlet pears, and an unidentified branch that had gone unnoticed, growing up about 3 feet from the rootstock. I didn't know what it was, so I let it grow. The second year after that it flowered and produced these fuzzy green lemon shaped fruits. 🍋🍋🍋 Then I knew had a Quince. I never let it grow out enough to get enough of them to make a quince jelly. But maybe in the future.

I love Miracle Whip, but only on sandwiches. For anything else like tuna, potato, or egg salad, I use Mayo.

Turnip are my favorit root veggie: I either slice them thin for a salat or light pickling, or add them to mashed potatoes for a lighter texture.

My Mother used Miracle Whip from the 1930's and on till the 1990's but I preferred mayonnaise.

Out of all of these iceberg lettuce is my favourite, i really like it. Margarine is very much present, but i am not ver y fond of it because it causes heartburn in my stomach. Quince is ok when prepared, but apples are better. Goose berry i have not had in ages and i have really forgot their taste, they are very rare in my country too. Turnips have been somewhat popular during the war here in 1990's and a couple of years later. Other products have never been used here.

I still use Crisco, not very often, but I’ve got some in my pantry. I hate Jello, but I have a strawberry cake recipe that my son loves, so I buy this once a year. I use real butter, period! No to gooseberries, they are sour! No to turnips, they’re bitter and mushy. Never had a quince. Acorns are squirrel food. Love my Miracle Whip, and it is salad dressing! I like butter lettuce myself.

Kiwis were once called Chinese gooseberries when the first was first introduced. It might be part of the reason why actual gooseberries are dying out, given their alleged similar tastes

Margarine is more widely used in my country than butter. Butter is pretty pricey for whatever reason, and the cheapest brands still don't come close to the quantity nor price of margarine (most cheaper brands aren't even fully butter to begin with, but a "butter-based mix"). I never really noticed any difference cooking-wise, most baked goods came out the same regardless of what I used, though I guess people are more picky for spreads.

I always have Miracle Whip in my fridge for sandwich spreads.

I still use Crisco, especially for frying. Still use iceberg lettuce. It has a ice crunch to it. No margarine. Only butter.

A few years back a German TV Cook got so angry that the network brought him an iceberg lettuce instead of a different lettuce that he topped off a burger with a green paper napkin because "it has more nutritional value"

I like crisco. Its greag for browning. Wouldnt use it all the time but for a flavorless fat its goid and its cheap. If i had to pick margarine or crisco ill take Crisco. Also there are some places in the world that still make jello salads. I think its russia that has one that is made of ham and hard boiled eggs and aome other stuff. Its aerved around holidays.

Miracle whip! Yummy!

I love turnips. They are super low in carbs, too, especially for a root vegetable. I grow them and can them. They only take 60 days to grow. And the greens are delicious. Miracle Whip is nothing like mayo. It is salad dressing. It says so right on the jar. And it has a low sodium option now with cleaner ingredients. I will always prefer iceberg lettuce. It tastes better. The center of romaine is bitter. There are better lettuces, like bibb and butter lettuce. Even leaf lettuce is better than romaine for flavor. But people would actually have to wash and cut those up themselves. Gooseberries are good, but hard to find in the stores. I have been thinking about planting some in the garden.

Turnups are for anyone who likes their carrots but wants them a bit sweeter. If they weren't linked with 'poverty,' they'd be trendy. They're an interesting measure of grocery store markups - it take about ten calories of food to equal one calorie of dead cow, as they burn off most of what they eat during their lifetime. Compare the price of 20,000 calories of turnups to 2,000 calories of beef and you'll get an idea of how much the produce aisle rips us all off.

I wonder if part of the success for crisco in Jewish households is because if you keep kosher you cant have dairy with meat in the same meal so replacing butter with crisco would change a lot of recipe accessibilities etc

For margarine, there was also that myth going around in the US that "Margarine is only one molecules away from plastic!" that was going around. It's a meaningless statement, but I've met people who genuinely believed that was why it was "bad" for you. Like, even if true, water (H2O) is one molecule away from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), yet they are totally different in how they behave.

and to say that Margarine used to be made from beef Tallow and not vegetal oils, and as a Beef Tallow version is far more healthy that any of the shortenings that exist. Thank you Napoleon Bonaparte

Gooseberry and Iceberg lettuce are staples in europe on the other hand Jelly/jello is almost extinct in europe. I love jelly and it is extremely hard to find here. Miracle Whip doesn't even exist in central and northern europe, or at the very least is not in the public eye. Margarin kind of stays around because we mostly consume salted butter and salted margarin is fine I guess. Again crisco or shortening is basically none existent, I imagine there might be some odd brand or something, but in general butter or margarin in used or oil when cooking. Quince is a staple in middle east, jams and stuff are made with it.

Gooseberries are seasonally popular here in Quebec. Though I’ll never understand why, they’re unpleasant!

I had no idea you can’t eat quince raw. I’d eat them straight off the tree in my parents backyard as a kid!

Gelatin is actually collagen, which is mad from bone and skin mainly. All kinds of animals are used for it, not only pig (pork). Because of the nature of it it doesn't really matter which animal is used. I live in the Netherlands and it's much the same here. Although I've never seen quince in my life. It would probably be sold in a nature/biological food shop.

The iceberg lettuce segment is totally wrong. What happened was e. coli contaminated bagged lettuce and lettuce heads. Then the crop was devastated due to weather. The price of iceberg lettuce then tripled and became more expensive than other lettuces so when e. Coli was a problem, people switched to leafy lettuces and continued buying them because they cost less than iceberg. Leafy lettuces are flatter and therefore better for sandwiches too. They taste and look more appealing than iceberg lettuce too so iceberg lettuce got sidelined. But iceberg lettuce has a much longer shelf life which is probably why it was so popular to begin with.

Gelatine is still used, just that gelatine salad isn't popular anymore

Wait, the Quince is unpopular? Do people not know the glory of Quince marmalade? Especially the “Quince with Rum” variant, that stuff is godly!

I wish I had planted useless but benign hawthorne instead. p.s. Pine rust issue, explained in another thread below, is nonexistent in my country, so please don't crucify me about it.
