“Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did”. Attributed to Dr William Butler, 17th century English writer and quoted by my father every strawberry season. Not usually called to mind when eating strawberries shipped in from Mexico or other distant parts. But fresh picked local strawberries….The ones I used to eat in Nova Scotia or the ones we were surprised to find at a farmhouse lane in Alberta once in late summer.
In North Cyprus there are two strawberry seasons. One in the spring - April and May - and one in the autumn. You can pick your own at a strawberry farm. But at the supermarket you can often choose your own one at a time from the large flat, not an unripe one in the lot and the scent an aphrodisiac. Which we did today.
