The terminology in England must be very different. Black rasp. here are huge thorny brambles with fruits bigger and seedier than red rasp. and fruit later.  Great for pie, jam and wine and blocking out deer.  But currants are small smooth berries. On some sites it looks like they are calling a Gooseberry a currant, and that doesn't seem correct at all. We have one gooseberry (Pixwell) with slightly striped green berries turning slight pink and beloved by birds. Makes an aromatic jam when I can get at them first. I've always thought Gooseberries were an English invention.
