About Legends say that we can thank clever children for naming of the sweet red strawberry. After picking the fruit, children strung them on glass straws and sold them "by the straw." "Straw of berries" are now sold as "baskets of berries," but we think we'll still call them strawberries.

Madame Tallien, a prominent figure at the court of the Emperor Napoleon, was famous for bathing in the juice of fresh strawberries. She used 22 pounds per basin. Needless to say, she did not bathe daily.

In medieval times, strawberries were served at important functions to bring peace & prosperity.

Folk lore states that if you split a double strawberry in half and share it with the opposite sex, you’ll soon fall in love.

In France, Strawberries were thought to be an aphrodisiac. A soup made of strawberries, thinned sour cream, porridge & powdered sugar was served to newlyweds.

Camera settings: 1/60 sec - f/14 - ISO 200 - FL 105mm - Ring Flash.
