Yes Trond, we eat cloudberries by the gallons...we call them bakeapples! Another interesting story behind that name! Personally, I don't care for the flavour but many Newfoundlanders love them.

Liked learning about "tuckamore" derivation... interesting.
Oh, you people "in the know", you all seem to know what "cloudberry" is... so I'm looking through the previously posted photos, trying to guess which is "cloudberry", you see, the actual correlation to the plant genus-species is not made, so I look up the probably edibles, both Vaccinium and Rubus, and it turns out to be Rubus chamaemorus. Maybe I should know this, but I don't.
So, for those who wonder what the hey Cloudberry is, here's a link:

PS:
Mark, should you (or any other southerner not familiar with cloudberry) come this way I hereby invite you to taste cloudberry! Depending on season you may get only jam, but in the right season you shall have the proper berry! Warning: Somebody dislike it alltogether and somebody can't live without!
