I'm slightly concerned that you might actually have a real reference point from which to make that statement. Should we check to see if any of your neighbors have gone missing recently?

Both your links were worthy of a Thank You, his about the kisser, and yours featuring the spaghetti feeder, etc. :D
:mrgreen:

So, P.S., Thanks, Roy.

Technically it's not a berry

The strawberry is not, from a botanical point of view, a berry. Technically, it is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries.[4] Each apparent "seed" (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it


But that's what we call it. I have no idea why someone removed the seeds. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Figs are not fruit. Maybe somebody likes milkshakes without seeds in it.

The word ‘strawberry’ has been part of the English language for at least a thousand years, well before strawberries were cultivated as garden or farm edibles. They were thought to be berries long before anyone set us straight with a scientific explanation of what a berry is.

One thought on the name is it derived from the seeds giving the aggregate fruit the appearance of being covered with straw chaff. (There are many other explanations.)

More trivia, bananas should be called Banana Berries because they are berries by definition.
