nope, look closer
If it ain't a myrtillus, it's gotta be 'abrunheiro-bravo' (Blackthorn, Prunus spinosa). We have that in Portugal too, but not around my way.

Right!
Now tell me what you can do with it and you get another CCs.
btw... their spines are fucking annoying!

You eat them. They are really tasty. But unless you live far up north you picked them too early. I think the folklore says to pick them after the first freeze. That's what we do.
Other use cases include jam (to use as a side for meat) and alcoholic beverages (wine or spirits).

Exactly that. We just had the first freeze. This year we have sooo many. Not every year are getting many fruits.
You know them well, yes I do a liquor and jam with them. Delicious.
Few years ago I made also some wine. Is not a strong wine but a curative wine due to high concentration of Vitamin C.

Nice! :)
We also have a lot around here, but have not had the first freeze yet.

It's gotta be useful for a lot, but all I know is you can make liqueur with it. I'd have to Google it to tell you more.
