ventaI've just picked, and eaten, a ripe bramble.
Incidentally: spikey thorny bushes are called brambles. The fruits that grow on them are called brambles, also known as blackberries.
Or so I think. One of our sysadmins at work insists that only the bushes are called brambles - to the extent of being adamant that bramble jelly is made from the leaves and the shoot-tips. He's clearly insane.
However. How common is it to call the fruits brambles ? Would you do it ?
