Gooseberries

One of my favorite fruits is the Gooseberry (especially in a Pie or Crumble with custard) but don't know about people elsewhere but they seem to have dissapeared, not seen in the shops or among the puddings for what seems like years.
Don't know why this is, I can't remember the last time I ate or even saw a gooseberry.

So imagine my delight this morning when I saw a poster in Morrisons supermarket advertising gooseberry pies, gonna treat myself I thought, but you guessed it "BLOODY SOLD OUT".
