Fuchsias. Hardly anyone knows they are edible, but if you get the right kind they can be quite tasty. Any variety can be eaten, but some can be peppery. I have had some that tasted just like concord grapes. Some produce small berries, some are large like a blueberry. Unfortunately, I lost all of mine due to a landscape re-do and have had to start over so I don't have any good varieties to name for you. The way I started my collection was by going to my local nursery, seeing which ones had berries (they don't all set fruit), and tasting one. Any that tasted good I purchased.
