Gooseberries

The gooseberry is so universal a favourite, and is so well-known, that it is unnecessary to give any description of it. It is exceedingly wholesome and refreshing, and many dishes may be made from it. The principal varieties are the white and red, and the red is the more acid of the two. Smooth-skinned gooseberries are much inferior in flavour to the rough hairy ones.
