So apparently the regular strawberry is in fact a garden strawberry that is a hybrid species of wild strawberries that I call smultron, which explains why the latter are called WILD STRAWBERRIES in english (or woodland/alpine/european strawberries) and why GARDEN STRAWBERRIES AREN'T NEARLY AS SWEET AND TASTY AS WILD STRAWBERRIES. Wild strawberries are also part of the rose family which means that strawberries are just (if we are to be more or less semantically incorrect) cute little savoury roses (I like the thought of that). It also turns out that wild strawberries only grow naturally in the northen hemisphere (they are grown commersially in very small amounts for gourmets) and that makes me really sad for people in the southern hemisphere who haven't experienced the unequaled joy of hunting barefoot for cute lil wild strawberries under a gentle summer breeze, putting the few you find on a straw of reed, sitting down in the swaying grass to admire your catch before eating them slowly. Ahh, wild strawberries.

Remember, garden strawberries are just STRAWBERRY MUTANTS. That's hella cool, though.

ps. Did you know that the tiny dots on strawberries are actually nuts?
