I have never seen such huge strawberries. They were as big as my child's fist, easily. This photo is taken with a normal sized teaspoon for illustration purposes. The thing is, as it is all we're used to, these sort of strawberries taste like strawberries. But I vividly remember eating one of the few strawberries I managed to raise in Australia, and it was like a taste explosion in my mouth. So I sort of feel sad, while enjoying my Mexican strawberries that are as large as a kiwi, remembering that one little strawberry back home.
Nothing like home grown flavour.
ReplyDeleteWe grew strawberries seriously at Coota. Dad made a wire shelter. the bed was about 12 feet long by about 1 1/2 yards? I had access to unlimited horse manure, from a friend, & cow manure from the sale yards. so we definitely knew what home grown strawberries tasted like. One year when I was a child we grew strawberries at KW. Yes, KW. We ate them on the south steps, with icing sugar:)
