I've never had bilberries (actually I might have had them in the occasional restaurant fruit pudding or a jar of jam), and hadn't imagined what they would look like or where they might grow. It certainly wouldn't occur to me that they would grow on the moors, I don't associate moors with juicy fruit :) They do indeed look very similar to blueberries, one of my favourite fruits, so to hear that they are possibly even tastier whets my appetite. Perhaps I need a miniature moorland in my garden, with mounds of acidic soil for bilberries and rowan trees... :)
