Help Identifying a Possible Poisonous Berry and winning another argument with my wife

[linebacker]

I believe I know what they are. Country folks call those "bullis grapes", a kind of wild grape if you will. They have a somewhat bitter taste because of the shell but the clear nectar inside is kind of sweet. I ate a many of them growing up as they grow wild all over the South.

After two marriages, the one thing I've learned is you never win any argument with your wife.

I have been calling these muscadines my entire life. Am I wrong?? Or is a bullis grape the same thing as a muscadine?

Muscadines are alot bigger. I have seen them nearly the size of a golf ball before. We planted several vines at my dad's place many years ago so he could make wine and momma could make jelly. We planted the purple ones and the gold ones.

I hate to disagree but I don't think they're bullis grapes either. The leaves on those are the same as muscadine leaves, these leaves have a different structure.

Well, only way I know to tell for sure is eat a bunch of them and then the hospital can tell you what they are treating you for.

I'm thinking this is ONE man who may actually win an argument with his wife...if only by attrition.

Are you sure you are not talking about scuppernogs? They are much larger and can be purple or gold? The wild muscadines that are in my woods are the same size as the ones pictured. A few are a bit larger, but never seen any muscadine anywhere near the size of a golf ball. Maybe there is a difference between wild and domesticated?

I don't think they are bullocks or muscadines. I have seen them before but never ever ate them. The ones you showed pictures of. I ate muscadines and bullocks growing up. My grandmother raised muscadines to make wine with
