Razzle schmazzle. Real fresh raspberries are rare and lovely things; in season they're great in salads, on ice cream and yogurt, in pies and cobblers or just spread on buttered toast. Unfortunately, they're all too expensive most of the year. And thick, sweet raspberry syrup in vinaigrette, vodka, popcorn, toaster treats, schnapps, mustard, chili sauce and beer doesn't make up for the berries' absence. I'll wait for the real thing to return.
