The world of cooking has many legends, rumors and myths. We are trying to gather all the facts and present them to you.
Gooseberries have been grown in Britain since the time of Henry VIII. One ancient belief tells how fairies would shelter from danger in the prickly bushes and hence gooseberries became known as fayberries. Gooseberry juice was also used as a medicine in the treatment of fevers and in the sixteenth century they were recommended to plague victims. In the north of England gooseberry clubs were popular, with members fiercely competing for the varieties that produced the biggest, best and juiciest fruit of the year.
