Definitions
Honeyblob is a Scottish dialect name for a large, ripe, sweet yellow gooseberry — the kind that's practically bursting with juice when it's at peak ripeness. It's the sort of charming, vividly descriptive folk name that tells you exactly what the fruit looks like and how good it tastes: round, golden, and sweet as honey. Scottish dialect is full of these expressive food words, and honeyblob is one of the more delightful ones. If you're lucky enough to find them at a Scottish market, they're worth every penny.
Gran's garden was famous for the honeyblobs on the back fence — we'd eat them straight off the bush every summer.
