Talk:Blue raspberry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is a redirect here really better than a blank article? i doubt most people who type "Blue raspberry" are looking for the Wu-Tang. Unfortunately, I have no info to create a stub (hence my initial browse for the article). --Morbid-o 12:45, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is there such a thing as a "blue raspberry"?

The phrase "supply of fresh blue raspberries from Oregon" seems to suggest that there is such a thing as a blue raspberry, but see Talk:Rubus leucodermis. Should references to "blue raspberries" be replaced with a better name? Melchoir 06:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Blue raspberry, today mainly an artificial flavour-originally was obtained from British Columbia wild grown West Coast raspberries(Rubus leucodermis)in the US known as Whitebark raspberry ssp. bernadinus. I think that this should not be forgotten. The original commun name "blue raspberry" is still alive with our Canadian Indians and the US Navajos(they also use "frambuesa azul" which means blue raspberry).--Canadianpit 23:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

http://www.blueraspberrymedia.com/ - That appears to be the source for the quote in question. I've removed it, as that's hardly reputable, and to my knowledge there's no such thing as a "blue raspberry". If I'm wrong, feel free to add it back, with a proper reference. pbones 22:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
