Date: 2019-08-11 03:37 am (UTC)I didn't know that currants (and gooseberries!) were once banned in the U.S., and still are in some places. Interesting, and explains why they are so uncommon over here.
Back when I was a child, both red and white currants grew in the garden in back of the building where my aunt lived in Germany. (My other German aunt grew gooseberries.) Sour tangy refreshing flavor. We sprinkled sugar over them. I'm not sure if I've ever had fresh black currants, but have had the juice and flavored candies.
