There’s probably a foraging sub that’s better suited for this question
Second photo is of blackberries
First photo looks like yellow asian plums
Well, the second ones are blackberries.And yes, they are very edible.People make jam from them and wine and a few deserts. If you see somthing referd to as bramble its this fruit. They grow wild all over Britain. don’t the first one is though.
If it tasted nice then you won’t die
Yep, as others have said – plums and blackberries. Think they’re yellow egg plums, which are usually cookers, but are OK to eat if you like ’em.
So I give you… hm, 40-60 years left, depending on if you wear a seatbelt and how spicy geopolitics gets.
Number 1 is some kind of plum – not sure if wild or cultivated but certainly edible.
2 are blackberries. Typical season is August – October so head back to harvest more later in the year – they’re great in an apple crumble.
Don’t worry you won’t die but grab yourself a copy of Food for Free or a similar guide before you go eating random fruits next time!
Were they In a garden or in the wild? I pick fruit from blackberries bushes and cherry trees that I find around London when out and about.
I think the first one is yellow Prunus cerasifera, second one is obvious.
“Are they edible? I ate them and they were delicious”
Assuming this isn’t bait.
The general rule is you don’t eat something you can’t identify.
There are plenty of nice looking plants that are harmful to eat.
That said, the first photo looks like it might be Yellow Egg Plum (although I’m not 100%) and second photo is black berries/brambles and both are edible.
Might not die, but may give you the old trap door if you know what I mean.
Don’t eat the low lying fruit whatever they are! Dog wee isn’t nice..
Blackberries
It’s bonkers seeing blackberries everywhere in July
… how come it is the first time in your life you are exposed to blackberries?
There’s a couple of trees near a car park where I live that had grapes .. I was walking along by and seen loads of grapes on the ground I assumed someone dropped them but then I noticed the tree and I couldn’t understand I always thought grapes couldn’t grow here in uk especially London 🤷♂️
OP has never lived in (or maybe even been to?) the countryside.
The first are wild plums, absolutely edibles Mirabelle
Their are edible, is a sort of plum, you can make jam from it too . 2nd photo are blackberies
backberries are so good yes they’re edible, elite berry, top teir
There’s no way you don’t know what a blackberry is.
My man never been to a supermarket
Plums and bramble
They are eggs. Both must come in plastic to be edible.
these look exactly like the ones I had in my old place down south. If it flowers, its a type of passion fruit plant. You kinda meant to cook the fruit I think, great for making confeteur – feck knows how to spell the word … yk what i mean
Yellow plum and mulberry. You chose wisely.. eat you must
Wash stuff first, immerse in water , little bugs will crawl out…
KUMQUATS. Nothing sexual about that fruit whatsoever. Entirely edible but be careful biting, they spurt.
For unknown plants try r/whatisthisplant *before* you eat any of it!
All plants are edible
Some only once though
“All things are edible. Some things are only edible once.”…
The thing about this type of comment is how knowledge that was so common place when I was growing up in 70’s and 80’s London is now almost unknown, even with super computers in peoples pockets.
Think it is partly down to kids not going out as much for hours on end, and also because so much of nature in big cities has been destroyed.
The river near me was miles of blackberry bushes, but most have been chopped back now.
The second image is blackberries, safe to eat.
Pick the darker ones and higher blackberries (in case a wild animal has peed on them). These blackberries are typically smaller and have bigger seeds than the commercial ones, also less sweet, but personally I like them.
not sure for 1st photo, but 2nd photo look like blackberries.
