50 States; 50 Meals: Oregon

What we had for dinner dessert:

Marionberry Pie

The marionberry was developed by the USDA Agricultural Research Service at Oregon State University.  It is a cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' blackberries.  You know the difference right? Right? The marionberry is currently the most common blackberry accounting for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon.  These berries are similar to raspberries but a little sweeter.

Marionberries are not in huge demand where we live so I was stuck. Then one day I was in Wegmans and pushed my cart past a freezer end cap and what did I see? A Marie Calendars Razzleberry Pie. And in this pie was raspberries AND marionberries! I almost did the dance of joy in the middle of the store. That pie was deeeeelicious.
