In Paris in 1985 (only time I've been there) you could buy massive strawberries from street stalls by the kilo, the size of a small apple, cheap, and super-delicious. I don't know where they came from or why I've never seen them here in Australia. Apart from that, I had delicious small homegrown ones as a kid, and the occasional almost or totally tasteless medium-sized ones from shops ever since. I always wonder how it feels to be a farmer growing totally tasteless strawberries for a living.
