Blackberry Leaf Salad

The Guardian recently reported in an article on hedgerow foraging that blackberry leaves "taste just like blackberries and can be added to fruit salad". Ian and Suzie recently tested this theory out by sampling leaves straight from the bush, and can report that blackberry leaves taste absolutely nothing like blackberries, but actually taste like chewy bitter leaves, and will not be gracing our dinner tables in an unusual fruit salad.
