Strawberries

I'm lucky to arrive in Denmark during summer where the strawberry season just started. Danes have constant strawberry supplies from other countries when the weather in their own country 'doesn't permit anything to be grown'. However, when the harvest season is approaching, they'll rather wait & pay more just to buy Danish grown strawberries (which is called 'jordbær' in Danish).

I'm rather amazed with this 'patriotism' (perhaps just like Malaysian's love towards local durian) & I have to agree that Danish strawberries are nice. I was told the price will drop as the strawberries 'output volume' increase (make sense), hope so. I have a colleague who had 1.5kg of strawberries for dinner with his wife. Didn't believe it in the beginning, he showed me pictures & proved it. The love of Danes towards local strawberries got me speechless. =.=

Tasted cherries here, not as nice as I remember those in UK. Kind of miss the time where I can pay £10 for a big box of cherries. I think my capability in 'consuming' cherries is at least compatible to my colleague's 'strawberry consumption'. Will continue my quest to search for nice cherries in Denmark, lol...
