Quali sono le bacche? Li ho visti nella foresta oggi.

Lingonberries, puolukka in Finnish.

Assponcho (literal translation, in Finnish it’s Puolukka & to the Finns who don’t know what Lukka is, it’s basically a poncho of the Sami people).

They are edible and very nutritious. Very sour but very tasty. They don’t need preservatives to be stored, it’s enough that you just smash ‘em and keep in airtight jars.

In English they call it lingonberry but everyone knows its assponcho.

There’s also a Finnish saying about these;

_It rotates like an assponcho in vagina_, which means someone is indecisive, fidgety or just generally zooming around without knowing where they’re trying to go.

The old mythical saying “Spins like a lingonberry in the vagina” immediately came to mind
