####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
Slightly off-topic . . . Everyone should make sure to check the 10% off FOTW offer at BCF this week. I think it's the best selection of flavors the FOTW sale has ever had. FYI - the flavors on sale are the "winners" of Flavor of the Year. Go get ya some!
That was a berry nice headline, but what the huck is this fruit you speak of?
Never had a huckleberry, but I see it's related to the blueberry and can be tart or sweet. Might be a good addition.
I don't have anything useful to add this week, as I have 0 experience with huckleberry concentrates, so I give you this iconic movie clip instead: "I'm your huckleberry."
+ TIL that "huckleberry" is a bit of a misnomer, as they aren't berries at all, they're drupes aka stone fruits (despite having 10 seeds vs the usual 1).
I'll have to get some of that one, berries are my favorite hands down. I was so disappointed to hear the new Mulberry I'd been anticipating is apparently too perfum-y so I could use a good new berry and I love the actual real huckleberries, figure I'll enter for a chance to win some.
we were ALL disappointed by FA Mulberry :(
Did you grab VSO Huckleberry? It's tasty! I use it at 3-4 in a mix so I can taste it. Usually just mix it with a couple of creams or VSO Sabayon. If you haven't tried that one you should!
Closest thing I have is FA Bilberry. Looking at the wiki page I think it fits
> The name 'huckleberry' is a North American variation of the English dialectal name variously called 'hurtleberry' or 'whortleberry' (/ˈhwɜːrtəlbɛri/) for the bilberry
I’m a new diy’er and i have to say that noted is the best, i have watched every episode and i am buying the top flavors here and there. Keep up the great work every one. I’ll keep tuning in to find new top flavors. You haven’t steered me wrong yet.
