That's brilliant! Thanks very much. I noticed there seems to be two editions, one has a more modern jacket while the other (the one in your link) has a more old fashioned picture. They both have the same description though but not sure if one is updated over the other.
Apparently elderberries should not be eaten raw. They contain a toxic substance that can make you quite ill.
I just wondered, with the mention of 'crunchiness' whether @Gn0me had perhaps eaten them raw. They do look so tempting, but are poisonous unless cooked.

Just did a little research myself and you're right: They shouldn't be eaten raw.
I can't understand for the life of me why I did so! I certainly would've checked first as I new nothing about them beforehand. I must've got the wrong advice or misread/misheard. Good job it was just a Tsunami down below and nothing more serious.
Should I tell the pigeons too? They seem to be enjoying them albeit without cream.

Thanks again.
Mine is the original edition (it has a lovely dust jacket 😊) … I’ve not seen any later one but I doubt they’re very different. I don’t make wine now … but back in the day when I lived in a lively village with three horticultural shows a year (with classes for homemade wines) and lots of parties and village celebrations, I made quite a bit and so did our friends. I really enjoyed it. Lots of equipment etc on EBay etc nowadays. I used to trek to the Boots chemist in Ipswich for stuff.

To be clear, that's "simmer berries, sieve, reduce".
