The time they are delicious are in the summer when they are fresh and big and juicy! Here, they are expensive as crap and not that sweet. <br />I don't think I've met anyone who prefers canned anything to fresh but hey, I'm sure they're out there! <br />Thanks for reading my blog :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15421142287093429996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160647031280507069.post-15867698946488295492010-07-06T17:13:42.091-03:002010-07-06T17:13:42.091-03:00Funny thing is I always thought real Strawberries ...Funny thing is I always thought real Strawberries are from Brazil where they are sweet and juicy...<br />I always found Canadian strawberries dry, tasteless and hollow inside, maybe you just think that's the way they are supposed to be huh!<br />I have a polish friend in Toronto who loves pineapples from the can but can't stand the real thing, he grew up eating canned pineapples in communist Poland.<br />Cultural differences are funny at times!<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160647031280507069.post-12104314693728921852010-07-06T09:13:49.354-03:002010-07-06T09:13:49.354-03:00I love me some ripe and juicy persimmon.

I eat them just like I would a ripe tomatoe (which are impossible to find here!) with juice dripping down my chin as I bite into them.<br /><br />Yum.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14003236423048071844noreply@blogger.com
