Oh dear. Yes, you could put raspberries on your salad too, and it would taste *way way better*! I grew up on the West Coast and yes I ate the damn things, thousands of them, because about one in 20 would actually taste good -- not bitter, not watery -- or at least less bitter and watery than the others -- but mostly because they looked so beautiful especially the perfect red ones tipped with crimson. But cooking with them? I think they would reduce to water and seeds. I still obsessively pick them when I go for hikes on the North Shore. They taste even worse now. But I can't help myself.
