Do you prefer strawberries or raspberries? If you can't decide then let me introduce you to strasberries, the fruit that falls somewhere between strawberries and raspberries. The fruit was "born" in the early 1900s, but disappeared from markets until Dutch farmers rediscovered them several years ago. Originally a type of wild strawberry, the strasberries have become a big hit in Europe due to their "unique, aromatic flavour." If you're interested in trying them, you'll have to head across the pond to London. Waitrose — a British supermarket chain — is selling the fruit in 17 of their London outlets; a 4oz basket will retail for £4 (about $8).
I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait until someone imports these to the US. I want to make a strasberry shortcake!

6Sounds yummy!
7They look like the tiny wild strawberries that my parents have everywhere on their land. Aren't they the same?
8Those are so cute! I bet my hubs will ♥ them!
9Yeah, I was wondering where they grow, because they look like the wild strawberries that grow on my grandparent's acreage.
10I forgot what they were called but I saw strawberries and tomatoes combined together this weekend at the supermarket. they looked like tomatoes that were shaped like strawberries and still on their vine. they were too expensive to experiment with.
11I bet they are sour.
12these are so cute and I'd love to try them! I'm always up for new things
13yum!!
14I'd def try them!
15We grew ones that looked like that in our garden when I was growing up. Wish I hadn't become allergic to berries...
16i want to try them!
17well they look cute
18Yum yum gimme some. Let us know when they come to USA.
19i'm going to have to agree with everyone else- they look JUST LIKE wild strawberries we used to have everywhere in maine... which were amazingly sweet little jewels of flavor. we used to eat them on the deck over the river with fresh cream while our swimsuits dried on our brown little bodies. holy crap those were the days.
20Oh man... I want to try these so bad!! Somebody bring them over quickly please!!!!!!
21i love the concept of this cute little fruit and if there's a more flavorful element to it - than that's even better!
22I'm in love! The best of both fruit worlds!
23Sounds like something from Willy Wonka.
