Blueberries

Not far from where I'm working is a field were you can go and pick your own blueberries.
(for those interested, those are not the wild growing blueberry Vaccinium myrtillus - Wildheidelbeere or Waldheidelbeere - that grows in forests and in the wild, but the American Northern Highbush Blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum - Amerikanische Heidelbeere - that is nowadays cultivated)
Within half an hour I had a small bucket full (a little more than 1 kg), not counting those that somehow never made it to the bucket but ended in my mouth directly.

Though, eventually, the rest will end up in my mouth anyway, as I made blueberry jam.
