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.
