I purchased what is meant to be English Spinache at the local markets, but the plants have a purple/black berry on them is this normal?

That sounds like a climbing spinach I have. It has thick rubbery leaves, climbs like a trellis and puts out those small black/purple berries. I have used the leaves in cooking and the chooks & ducks seem to love them as well.
