Zane is a very cautious critter. Unlike most things (books, cat food, dirt) small red berries that look deceptively like food, MUST be thoroughly tested to make sure they're eatable.
First, give them to Daddy. See if he'll eat them.
Watch carefully to make sure he doesn't spit them out.
Next, compare what he gave you to what you gave him. Do they match, or is the old man trying to put one over on you? You've got to watch him, Daddys can be sneaksy.
After assuring they match, you can then try one. If you don't like it, spit it out immediately.
It looks like the currants have passed Zane's extensive testing, and are now on the approved foods list (along with books, cat food and dirt.)
