I have seen and eaten many varieties of Strawberries in my life time from, Japan, Europe and all the way to the North American west coast.
However, yesterday, I encountered and picked a 'wild?' varietal from my friend's front yard in Thornhill that was so unique in size, taste and aroma, it was a big and welcoming surprise!
These 'smaller than raspberry' size varietal were fully red when I picked them, They tasted borderline sweet but the aroma was very unique and mesmerizing. Reminding me of some commercial 'handwashing liquid soap'!! - but in a good way!
Should have taken photo of them before eaten them all with sugar and cream!! Shucks!!
Any fellow chowhounders encountered similar 'fresh' berries in the GTA??! I noticed very similar Georgian 'frozen' version from 'Yummy Market'. Sold in vacuum plastic bags, their price is a whopping $24+ per pound!!!!
