    • 2009 September 6, David Corcoran, “A Rare Appearance for an Exotic Cuisine”, in New York Times[1]:
      They were like small, elongated cranberries, but more sour than bittersweet — a deep, oxblood red, with a faint raisiny perfume that seemed to infuse the basmati rice in which they had been cooked.
