Yesterday at the farmers market, I picked up some funny looking raspberries. They were kind of long and skinny. The boy selling them said, "do you know what these are?" I said, "no, but they look nice." He said they were called tie berries. I don't know if that's the right spelling or not. I did a google search for a few different spellings (Thai? tei?) and got nothing. Anyone know if they go by another name?

They're actually pretty good: not as sweet as raspberries.

I just answered my own question.

Tay berries are a hybrid of loganberries and raspberries.

Hi Kristine,

I found this and thought you might be interested.

"TAYBERRIES

A 1970's cross of the Oregon blackberry and Scottish red raspberry - named after the Scottish river Tay - the Tayberry is big and solid like blackberry, savoringly aromatic and luxuriously deep red like the raspberry."

I was curious because your in your pic they look very like mulberries. Guess they're not though!

Cheers, and do enjoy your Tay berries!

Aha! Thanks. They're pretty tasty.
