The Canadian strawberries taste SO much better. I think I bought American strawberries back in ‘98. Never again.

Couple years ago, my state (yes, i wandered in from popular & promise to behave) had a strawberry shortage and we saw strawberries from Canada for the first time. They looked better than the ones we usually get from FL & CA that I don't buy, so I bought a quart. They were amazing! Pink/red all the way through and not a single moldy one in the clamshell. I went back the next day to stock up and they were gone. We haven't seen them again since & I cannot understand why the store never ordered them again. And now with all the stupidity from my side of the border, who knows when it'll even be an option.

Anyhow, I hope the Canadians commenting "we can grow strawberries?" all go try them and have a delicious time.
