The elderly Joseph and his wife walk in an orchard full of "berries and cherries", and Mary begs Joseph to pick her somecherries, which she craves because she is pregnant.
The next time, I brought home Brooks and Rainier cherries, decided to get them drunk and take them to a party with some ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese.
More than a few so-called cherries have proven to be held together with chewing gum or rubber bands, or were found floating in some swamp after a hurricane.
