No, these were what we had for dinner. They are not like the cornflakes covered in chocolate. |

We used to have cornflake cakes at home (ie cornflakes covered in chocolate) |

The berries contain the seeds of the Rowan. They want to be seen by any passing creatures, particularly those that can see colour. For these species (which include us) red is possibly the most eye catching, so the Rowan uses the colour red for it’s berries. An animal then eats the berries, travels to a new location and excretes the seeds in a pile of natural fertiliser! |

Perhaps boil them and make Rowan and Gin flavoured jam ;-) :-D :-D |

I used one of the foraging books when I made the jelly but I can't say that I looked again. |

Sharron, see this wiki article, particularly towards the end of the 'Uses' section, which gives some details of their toxicity, and how to neutralize it. |

Last year I made some rowan jelly and when I tasted it I thought how well that flavour would go with gin so, this year, I made some rowan gin in the same way as you would make sloe gin.. |
