My grandmother once told me, that she had never known strawberries in her childhood. She had known those tiny wild ones - but not the large garden strawberry we today know as
THE strawberry.
Her favorite childhood berry was the mulberry - a berry completely unknown to me. Out of curiosity, I tried getting mulberries - but since those grow on trees which only start bearing fruit after 10 years of growth (!!!) - those can't be produced at a commercially viable price point.
It wasn't until years later, that I found a mulberry tree in an old cloister garden, of a cloister that specialized in preserving old strands of plants that were no longer being commercially grown.
They are really tasty! If they were actually available, I could easily see them become just as popular as other berries.
