And my Irish born hubby swears it was a bet, as in "Bet a quid you won't eat
that!".... As far as the strawberries go, just on an aside but not really
documentation, I just ordered strawberries for my garden from a garden
catalog. The large "king" berries are classed as "American King Strawberries"
and measure their fruit at about 2" to 3" in good soil. The Eurpopean berries
are called just about everything else (London Best, stands out) and measure
only 1/2" to 1-1/2" fruit. So, I would **suspect** that there is some truth
to this idea.
