I've eaten both red and black currants raw. I only tried cranberry raw once because I was curious, but don't care to repeat it. And I actually didn't know anyone ate lingonberry raw, I've only ever seen that as a preserve.
I like the small wild blueberries that are blue throughout more than the big cultivated blueberries that are not blue inside, but the former are really expensive and supermarkets rarely have them. I'm not sure whether they actually go by a different name in English, they might be what's called "bilberry"? Both are called Blaubeeren in my area of Germany. I think the cultivated ones are from an American species, the completely blue ones European. The tiny wild European strawberries are really good too, but also not easy to buy.
