Date: 2012-10-08 10:37 pm (UTC)I don't get the "delicious looking" paradigm. Honeysuckle berries are beautiful, but not edible (bellyache and extreme digestive upset). Hollyberries are lovely glossy red....emetic. Red elderberries are toxic eaten raw (most of the plant is, actually). Nightshade is pretty as well (noted above).
You ONLY ever CONSIDER eating it if you a) know what it is, or b) have observed OTHER HUMANS eating it in the past with no ill effects, preferably both. (Birds love hollyberries.)
