A couple of years ago during the first easing of the pandemic year, I visited Exmoor in Devon. In the village or Porluck, which is on the eastern edge of Exmoor, I came across Whortleberry Tea Room. I had a scone and jam. This was the first place that I tried whortleberry jam. I had never heard of whortleberry, but it is also called huckleberry and whinberry. It's very similar to the blueberry, and it looks like a blueberry. I found that it tasted like a blueberry to me, but apparently it is a little bit stronger in flavour.
The scone was served with jam and clotted cream and tasted nice.
I hope to re-visit Whortleberry Tea Room again in the future.
