Now... there's an infamous story about me and me Grandad tasting as we went.
This happened almost 20 years ago but still gets cast up from time to time.
My auntie and mum sent me and my grandad to go and pick some strawberries. While we were away they would get the pans and the jars all ready to go. Well sure enough we went picking strawberries for a whole afternoon. When we got back, proud as punch, we handed over the 20 or so strawberries we had picked and actually put in the basket... The rest unfortunately met with a grizzly end on the way to the basket via our mouth... Needless to say we were not popular
It's tempting to end there but I have another Strawberry story...
Some our our relations had come up from Norfolk to visit. On their last day they treated us all to a fancy dinner in a posh hotel. Dessert was a self service buffet. The Strawberry cheesecake took my Grandads eye. Not liking cheesecake however he went on to scrape all the strawberrys and the sauce off the top leaving behind a huge cheesecake with very little topping left. Once my family realised what he had done my aunt quickly was dispatched up with her knife to spread out the little topping that was left. My grandad however had the best dessert he'd had for a long time
