Random Thought Friday!

The concept of seasonal produce hurts my brain.


This, friends, is not because I am retarded or somehow incapable of associating fruit with weather, but because I live on that funny little island down the bottom of the world.


Raspberries and strawberries in summer, in England, makes sense. Because berries happen in summer, in England.


Berries are not from Australia.


So what are the poor little strawberry brains supposed to do - keep bearing fruit in June, or skip forward six months because it's too chilly out?


Think about it.



And then there's the whole issue of how strawberries got over here in the first place... Were there garden boxes on the First Fleet? I like that idea...
